LineShine was built by the National Supercomputer Center in Shenzhen. According to TOP500 data, the system does not use GPUs and is composed solely of CPUs. It is equipped with 304-core LX2 chips, with a total of 13,789,440 cores, achieving a computing performance of 2.198 exaflops, equivalent to approximately 219.8 billion billion floating-point operations per second.

This marks the first time in TOP500 history that a system has exceeded 2 exaflops using only CPUs. LineShine also topped the "HPCG" benchmark for simulation computing.

This is the first time a Chinese-made supercomputer has topped the TOP500 since the "Sunway TaihuLight" took the lead in November 2017. However, due to factors such as economic sanctions, China had previously refrained from registering flagship models. According to reports from Reuters and other foreign media, China has stopped submitting registrations to TOP500 since 2023.

The supercomputers ranked second to fifth are: the United States' El Capitan, Frontier, Aurora, and Germany's JUPITER Booster. Japan's Fugaku, which ranked seventh in the previous list, has dropped to ninth this time.
