I heard it in relation to ARM CPUs, yes, > GPUs, no. If you never heard about *that*, I can only imagine what else you didn't hear about supercomputers. Back when Fugaku was new, it was highly praised for being GPU-less design that matches and slightly exceeds an efficiency of GPU-based (and other vector accelerator based) supercomputers. But that was possible only because NVidea had unusually long pause between successive generations of Tesla and at the same moment AMD and Intel GPGPUs were not yet considered fit for serious supercomputing. That was in November 2019. Never before or since. Right now the best GPU-less entry on Green500 list is #48 (still the same A64FX CPU as Fugaku, but smaller configuration) and it delivers 4x less sustained FLOP/Watt than the top spot, based on NVIDIA H100.
