World’s Fastest Processor
Really..?? and by Fujitsu and not Intel at that - now that has gotta hurt Intel eh. I know that spouse would be happy to read this .. but I don’t think he will need this anytime soon. But it’s good to know .. what the World’s fastest processor can do right.
The Japanese firm revealed its latest supercomputer CPU offering at “Fujitsu Forum 2009.” It claimed the chip is capable of crunching through an astounding 128 Billion computations per second, 2.5 times faster than Intel’s current best performer. This makes Fujitsu the first Japanese firm in a decade to snatch the lead in raw CPU performance.
The little beauty has aptly been dubbed “Venus,” a much sexier name than its rather more nerdy technical moniker “SPARC64 VIIIfx.”
See i told you . .not for the ordinary blokes out there.
