We just finished talking about a stunning android based digital photo frame developed by Fujitsu and as if is the Japanese giant hated the assistance (Macnica Inc.), it has solely developed what is being touted as the fastest supercomputer CPU in the world. Dubbed the Venus, this amazing chip is capable of a startling 128 Billion computations per second, which is 2.5 times faster than the best Intel has on offer. SPARC64 VIIIfx-technical name for Venus- is still under development and therefore one can well imagine what the final product would be capable of. Power consumption is also on the agenda for the Japanese firm which is the best way one can pip Intel other than the computing speed of course. There is still time before we would see a practically applicable version, but yes, once ready, this could be major help in the field of astronomy, research and weather predictions.
