The headline reminds me of 5th generation computers, which were supposed to supplant all current-generation computing of the time.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_generation_computer" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_generation_computer</a>
I read the headline and I thought it is going to be Fujitsu A64FX. And it is, but the article completely lack any detail info.<p>Anandtech [1] has a basic run down of features. The most important thing was SVE 512bit SIMD, which I believe was developed together with ARM. And as far as I am aware it seems to be the only commercial chip that has SVE.<p>Unfortunately knowing the Japanese culture and Fujitsu's intention with A64FX I dont think it will bring any competition to Intel / AMD or Nvidia.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.anandtech.com/show/15169/a-success-on-arm-for-hpc-we-found-a-fujitsu-a64fx-wafer" rel="nofollow">https://www.anandtech.com/show/15169/a-success-on-arm-for-hp...</a>
Also of interest, they'll be running a specialised kernel: <a href="https://github.com/RIKEN-SysSoft/mckernel" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/RIKEN-SysSoft/mckernel</a>
