Philip Emeagwali has been listed as amongst the top 10 most
intelligent people in the world, having the acclaimed IQ of 190.
Philip Emeagwali, of course, is a renowed and world-acclaimed engineer,
mathematician, computer scientist and geologist who was one of two
winners of the 1989 Gordon Bell Prize, a prize from the IEEE, for his
use of a Connection Machine supercomputer to help detect petroleum
fields.
He has the 9th slot directly below Marilyn vos Savant, 8th with verified

The Igbo-born Nigerian is credited for inventing a formula that allows
supercomputers powered by thousands of processors to perform billions of
calculations per second, a discovery that made international headlines
and inspired the reinvention of supercomputers.
The supercomputer comprises of thousands of networked computers and the
Internet also comprises of millions of networked computers. The
supercomputer spawned the Internet.
Emeagwali’s 1970s hypothesis on 64,000 networked computers around the
Earth led to his programming of 64,000 processors inside a big box to
perform 3.1 billion calculations per second, a world record in 1989. For
the latter achievement, he won the 1989 Gordon Bell Prize, which is the
“Nobel prize of supercomputing.”
