Supermini




A supermini (from ''superminicomputer'') is, by definition, “a Minicomputer with high performance compared to ordinary minicomputers.” The term was an invention used from the mid- 1970s mainly to distinguish the emerging 32-bit minis from the classical 16-bit minicomputers.

The term is now largely obsolete—like minicomputers as such—but still remains of interest for students/researchers of Computer History .

Note that superminicomputers should not be confused with the similarly named Minisupercomputer s, which is a class of Supercomputer .
