For us, knowledge is an outcome of a process but then it exists as facts and information. We are blank slates (knowledge-wise) when we start off and need a process to start filling the knowledge bucket. Omniscience skips that step.
God is not a supercomputer because God acts on the information he has. He has a will, he has other characteristics by which he makes decision (justice, mercy, love, etc.).
But outside of time, how are all these mental qualities (will, knowledge, etc.) enacted in a way that distinguishes a timeless god from a mindless but also timeless entity?
When God existed timelessly, he also existed changelessly put with omnipotent potential.
