Fujitsu Develops World's Fastest Processor

[AntiHeroUK]

It looks like Intel are having a bad time at the moment, with the huge fine slapped on them by the European Commision and now this.

Lovely. Wonder if it fits a socket 755 lol.

Screw you Intel! xD

We just need to know temperatures and overclocking abilities within the next couple of years.

What about price... supercomputer chip doesn't sounds like any of us is going to be able to purchase it for the coming ten years.

c_C

it looks kind of big but since it consumes less power guess it doesnt needs a big heatsink

 

[Rastalovich]

Big thing with this for me is that it gives the likes of Intel a rough timeline in which to work with.

If they are looking at 7 years, who knows what will happen.

(be scary if 775, 4g, GT200 rigs are still performing extremely well with stuff - but with the current state of affairs, I wouldn't bet against it)

I hope fujitsu come and make mainstream cpus now :yumyum:

You would think intel being the leading cpu maker would hold this title?

 

[Rastalovich]

Well it could end up being a big coupe. In order to go mainstream, they'd need 8086 license from Intel and a 64bit slice to AMD.

Or blow both of them (which if they have balls they could) and have it run nix, which would probably include Apple.

Or grow real balls and do 128bit off their own back.

Thing is tho, the architecture is already in place, so what's done is done.

 

[mrapoc]

phoar 128bit..good luck if they did that getting people to write software xD

Lazy lazy developers

You cant compare this to any desktop or server CPU. Completely different uses.

Still, nice achievement of Fujitsu's part..... but they are still well behind IBM when it comes to supercomputer chips.

I might be saying something stupid here but doesn't the title say world's fastest processor?

Yes but that's like comparing your phones little processing chip to that in your PC. Completely different ball park

Ah

"AMD acquires Fujitsu Technology Solutions" would love to see news title like that

8086 - sorted

64Bit - sorted

Fujitsu Power gear for ATI GPU's - sorted

AM4 - fastest cpu in the world lol
