SUPERMINICOMPUTER
Superminicomputer
A superminicomputer, or supermini, is “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 but still remains of interest for students/researchers of computer history.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Superminicomputer
