The '''IBM 7094''' was IBM's last commercial scientific [[mainframe]] (built at a time when computers for scientific and business computing used separate [[instruction set]]s). It had about 1.4-2.4 time the computer power of its predecessor, the [[IBM 7090]].

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