It looks like this is not an ARM core, but a Fujitsu implementation of the Arm v8-A instruction set and Fujitsu-developed Scaleable Vector Extension. Most likely the latter is doing all the heavy lifting.

>A64FX is the world's first CPU to adopt the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE), an extension of Armv8-A instruction set architecture for supercomputers. Building on over 60 years' worth of Fujitsu-developed microarchitecture, this chip offers peak performance of over 2.7 TFLOPS, demonstrating superior HPC and AI performance.
- d_tr 6y agoThe text you linked to actually says that the SVE was developed cooperatively by Fujitsu and ARM, without, however, going into details about who did what.
- numpad0 6y agoThere are words floating that A64fx is basically a SPARC with ARM ISA without much ARM IP in it, no idea how accurate but intriguing
