Fujitsu Venus world’s fastest processor performs 128 billion calculations per second
Though the news is bit awkward to digest, its very much true. Fujitsu today claimed it has developed the world’s fastest processor — performing 128 billion calculations per second. Fujitsu reports that the Venus prototype is actually 2.5x faster than world’s current fastest processor, a chip developed by Intel. The Venus is manufactured using 45nm fabrication processor, and is capable of achieving 128GFLOPs performance. What’s more, it is also very much energy efficient with Fujitsu claiming it cuts down power consumption by one-third.
The system that Fujitsu showcased featured four Venus chips, offering a 512GFLOPs of computing power.
The Fujitsu Venus processor is expected to power next generation of supercomputers.
