PremiumChina's LineShine supercomputer has taken the top spot on the 67th TOP500 list, posting 2.198 exaflops on the High Performance Linpack benchmark.

China's LineShine supercomputer debuted at No. 1 on the June 2026 TOP500 list, announced at the ISC 2026 conference in Hamburg, becoming the first system to sustain more than two exaflops on the standard HPL benchmark using CPUs only. The result marks the first time since 2017 that a China-based system has led the TOP500 ranking, and reflects Beijing's effort to present a frontier computing system

China's LineShine supercomputer is now officially the world's fastest FP64 machine, but its mixed-precision results are behind those of El Capitan, Frontier, and Aurora.
