Traditionally the price of Supercomputers have been at least 10 times the price of standard large mainframe computers of the same time period. The price also varied with the model of Supercomputer in a given line (e.g. economy or standard CPU, quantity of memory, speed grade of memory). Early Supercomputers were high performance uniprocessors or high performance uniprocessors with low performance input/output multiprocessors. Only much later did Supercomputer multiprocessors appear using massive numbers of inexpensive commodity microprocessors. However that factor of 10 in price has generally followed.

Super computers are mainly used by researchers and government agencies that require an amazing amount of processing speed. A super computer can perform 20 x 1015 operations every second. Definitely not for the average user which is perfect because the price tag is also not for the average person. Super computers range in price from $100 million to $250 million depending on design and installation requirements. Besides the huge price tag you can also expect somewhere between $6-7 million in energy and maintenance costs per year. While these computers are far out of reach for most of us they would be amazing to see in action.

It depends on what you'd define as the threshold into "super", but usually anywhere from tens of thousands, up into the millions and billions of dollars.
