Look out, Intel. Fujitsu just unleashed the fastest processor in the world, a startling 2.5 times faster than the fastest Intel chip. Supercomputer users love “Venus”, the eight-core processor, that the situation of 128 billion calculations per second.What all these numbers mean? During its 45-nanometer architecture, its components do not pack together as closely as Intel’s latest 32-nanometer configuration, it implies that the world-record sipping blistering speed, while a third of the performance of Intel’s flagship chip.
Oh, this monster-processor is not for you and me – it is destined for huge expensive supercomputers are doing high-end research, and is not responsible for the practical application of “several years.” But his performance and design, we have a sneak preview to what is possible, and evidence of Intel’s next step to answer the Fujitsu Slam Dunk.
