Fujitsu Ltd. says that the company has sucessfully developed the world’s fastest central processing unit - a CPU capable of performing 128 billion calculations per second. You know Intel and IBM have been leading developers of CPU, and this CPU codenamed Venus will help Fujitsu to take back the title of the world’s fastest CPU maker for the first time since 1999.

Venus calculates 2.5 times faster than the previous record-holding model which was made by Intel. Fujitsu has taken the advantage of miniaturization technology to double the number of central circuits integrated onto a chip measuring about 2cm from four to eight. Venus also shows great energy efficiency - cutting electricity consumption to about one-third of current levels.
