Re: Fujitsu have a substantial interest in Sparc
Fujitsu certainly didn't stop SPARC developments nor did they stop SPARC SuperComputer developments. The ARM based SuperComputer they announced and are working on is for a specific customer who requested the specific configuration. Fujitsu released a statement about this:

and they are full steam ahead on advancing SPARC having just released the awesome Fujitsu SPARC M12 and delivering to their 5 year roadmap.

Fujitsu SPARC M12 is years ahead of Intel Xeon and even IBM Power in performance and scalability.
