In layman terms, it just means quantum computers are way better than our traditional computers. Google claims to have performed a calculation using its supercomputer in 200 seconds that would have taken the world's fastest supercomputer 10,000 years. Quantum computers use qubits, let's just say it's both on and off at the same time. This just proves quantum computers are practically possible, not that it's ready for deployment.
The quantum computer used by google runs on its 54 qubit Sycamore processor.
IBM, the company which operates the worlds fastest supercomputer IBM submit, claims that it would take it's machine just 2.5 days and not 10,000 years.
200 seconds v/s 2.5 days it's still a very big deal.
