Slight error to the first description, 7090 (the predecessor of the 7094) came from 1959. 7094 however was made in 1962. this video is about 7094, not 7090.


the advanced solid-state IBM 7094 offered substantial increases in internal operating speeds and functional capacities to match growing scientific workloads in the 1960s. The powerful IBM 7094 had 1.4 to 2.4 times the internal processing speed, depending upon the individual application.

The 7094, combined with major input/output improvements through IBM 729 VI and IBM 7340 Hypertape units along with programming systems such as 7090/7094 FORTRAN, reduced job time significantly for users.


IBM later discontinued the 7094 in July 14, 1969. however, abandoned machines dont die. they will live as long as the world still exists.
