The new machine's calculating capacity will equal to 20 million desktop computer combined.
In other words, the world's entire population will need to use calculators together for 320 years to do as many calculations as the supercomputer in one minute.
The world's current fastest computer, the Sunway Taihulight was also developed by China.
The new supercomputer is currently being developed by the National Research Centre of Parallel Computer Engineering & Technology, state-run Xinhua reported on November 2.

According to CRI English, the supercomputer system has an estimated peak performance of over 1,000 quadrillion calculations per second.
The news comes just months after China's Sunway Taihulight was unveiled as the world's fastest supercomputer at TOP500, a Supercomputing Conference, in Germany in June.
Yang Guangwen, the head of China's National Supercomputing Center, spoke with Xinhua about Taihulight: 'It would take 7.2 billion people using electronic calculators 32 years, or two million desktop computers working together for one minute, to do the same calculation the computer can solve in just 60 seconds.'
The Taihulight uses Chinese-developed ShenWei processors, 'ending any remaining speculation that China would have to rely on Western technology to compete effectively in the upper echelons of supercomputing,' TOP500 said in a statement.
Yang Meihong, director of the National Supercomputing centre in Jinan, where the new supercomputer will be installed, said there were challenges with the project: 'It is a test for the effectiveness of China's independently developed technologies.
