The link is working for me, here are the details on the winner.

“The new top system, Fugaku, turned in a High Performance Linpack (HPL) result of 415.5 petaflops, besting the now second-place Summit system by a factor of 2.8x. Fugaku, is powered by Fujitsu’s 48-core A64FX SoC, becoming the first number one system on the list to be powered by ARM processors. In single or further reduced precision, which are often used in machine learning and AI applications, Fugaku’s peak performance is over 1,000 petaflops (1 exaflops). The new system is installed at RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS) in Kobe, Japan.



Wow, so we've hit exascale. I heard claims that we would reach exascale by 2020 in 2012. I didn't believe them.


0.5 exascale


There seems to be a difference between peak and useful. Be careful of marketing and hype.

(I am not an HPC guy, just IMO).


It goes further than that. HPL is already a bad benchmark since it just prioritizes the narrow requirements of HPL(double precision multiplication and bandwidth). HPCC(https://icl.utk.edu/hpcc/) is generally regarded to be a better benchmark of the real value of a particular cluster for scientific use.
