Google and NASA have a "D-Wave 2X quantum annealer," and they say it's 100 million times faster than a PC with a single core.
Over the past couple of years, Google's Quantum AI team has been researching quantum annealers and how they can be used effectively.
"We found that for problem instances involving nearly 1000 binary variables, quantum annealing significantly outperforms its classical counterpart, simulated annealing," writes Hartmut Neven on the Google Research blog. "It is more than 108 times faster than simulated annealing running on a single core."
