In Japan Fujistu’s eight-core SPARC64 VIIIfx Venus CPU is now the worlds fastest processor. This isn’t your grandmothers Pentium 2 chip. This processor makes the next 5 years of computer chips look slow. The SPARC64 can handle 128 billion calculations per second. Which blows Intel out of the water 2.5:1.
Fujistu has also has built this to be compact processor using nano-technology. Its about half the size (45nm) of its next in line competitor the Intel Itanium 2 chip. which is 90nm. Intel says its next chip will be 45nm small so Fujistu might have to step up their game.
