Difference between Mainframe and Minicomputer

Let’s see the difference between Mainframe Computer and Minicomputer: 

S.NO	Mainframe	Minicomputer
1.	In mainframe computers, large size of disk is used.	While in a minicomputer, small size of disk is used.
2.	Mainframe computers have large memory storage.	While minicomputers have small or less memory storage than mainframe computer.
3.	The processing speed of mainframe computer is faster than minicomputer.	While the processing speed of minicomputer is slower than mainframe computer.
4.	Mainframe computer is costlier than minicomputers.	Whereas minicomputers’s cost is less or it is inexpensive.
5.	The first successful mainframe computer is invented by IBM.	The first microcomputer was invented by the team leader Bill Pentz.
6.	Mainframe computers support thousand or millions of users simultaneously.	Whereas minicomputers support hundreds of users at a time.
7.	Mainframe computers can have a processing speed in the range of 3-4 MIPS to as high as 100 MIPS.	Whereas minicomputers can have a processing speed in the range of 10 to 30 MIPS.
