一些专家表示：“中国在国际TOP 500组织第47期榜单上保持第一名的位置，凭借的是一个完全基于中国设计、制造处理器而打造的新系统。”
Tianhe-2, an Intel-based supercomputer, had claimed the top spot on the past six TOP 500 lists.
基于Intel处理器的天河2号超级计算机，此前已在TOP 500榜单上连续六度称雄。
It is also the first time since the list was initially 2 drawn 3 up in 1993 that the US is no longer home to the largest number of supercomputer systems.
此外，这也是自该榜单发布以来，美国首次跌下拥有最多超级计算机系统的宝座。
"With a surge in industrial and research installations registered over the past few years, China leads with 167 systems and the US is second with 165," according to a statement about the list.
榜单的相关声明称：“随着过去几年工业和研究安装注册数量的激增，中国以167套系统居于首位，美国以165套系统位居第二。”
