It’s called the Venus SPARC64 VIIIfx which is capable of 128 GFLOPs--Intel's top of the line Nehalem-based Xeon 5500 for example, achieves roughly 76 GFLOPs.   <a href="http://www.tomshardware.com/gallery/805,0101-210965-0-2-3-1-jpg-.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://media.bestofmicro.com/fujitsu-sparc64,S-5-210965-1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://www.tomshardware.com/gallery/805,0101-210965-0-2-3-1-jpg-.html" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.tomshardware.com/gallery/805,0101-210965-0-2-3-1-jpg-.html" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.tomshardware.com/gallery/805,0101-210965-0-2-3-1-jpg-.html" target="_blank">http://www.tomshardware.com/gallery/805,0101-210965-0-2-3-1-jpg-.html</a>The chip is supposedly built using a 45-nm process and, from what we can make it out from the original Japanese report on <a href="http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/20090514_168533.html" target="_blank">PC Watch</a> (<a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fpc.watch.impress.co.jp%2Fdocs%2Fnews%2F20090514_168533.html&sl=ja&tl=en&history_state0=" target="_blank">translated</a>), has an integrated memory controller. The original report also states that Fujitsu’s chip has 2.5 times the “high speed operation” and one-third the power consumption of an Intel CPU (though it does not state which chip in specific).  Being that this new chip is a SPARC64 CPU, it’ll be reserved specifically for industrial and scientific applications, such as for studying space, weather, astronomy, among others.                     Source : <a href="http://www.tomshardware.com/" target="_blank">Tom's Hardware US</a></blockquote>
