Japan to build ‘Zeta-class’ Supercomputer, set to be 1,000 times faster than current models

Japan is preparing to construct a groundbreaking supercomputer, projected to be 1,000 times faster than today’s most advanced machines.

Expected to cost more than $750 million and set to go live by 2030, this “zeta-class” supercomputer will mark a new era in computing power. Development of the machine, known as “Fugaku Next,” will begin in 2025, led by Japanese firms RIKEN and Fujitsu, according to Live Science.
