Summary
[edit]
| Description | This image shows the only known representation of the Seymour Cray-designed CDC 8600 supercomputer. It appears to be a mock-up, not a working prototype. The CDC 8600 never successfully exited development and was one of Cray's few "flops". |

| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | CDC 8600 |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | The CDC 8600 was the first computer to use Cray's circular-packed computer design, which is used to shorten the distances between components and therefore reduce inter-module delays. No computer before or after has had this layout, although the soon-to-follow Cray-1 shows clear influences from the 8600 design. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
The machine in question has not existed since the mid-1970s, and was the only known example. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | A single image of this historic machine will be used. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
The company in question no longer exists, the remains are no longer in the computer industry, and the computer in question was never offered for sale. |
