It’s a four-core slab that was manufactured using the outfit’s 45 nanometer technology, boasting 1.4 billion transistors and the ability to handle more than 50 billion instructions per second. Interestingly, Fujitsu’s Venus CPU is said to handle a staggering 128 billion calculations per second, so we’re guessing that IBM won’t be snagging this crown without any debate from the competition.
