The IBM 7094 was IBM's last commercial scientific mainframe (built at a time when computers for scientific and business computing used separate instruction sets).

It had about 1.4-2.4 time the computer power of its predecessor, the IBM 7090. It was apparently very similar to the 7090, but did have extra index registers.

It appeared in two models: the original 7094; and the 7094 II, announced in May, 1963, with about twice the speed of the original.
