I think you're missing the big picture here. Looks like Cray has been looking at ARM for awhile for Fast Forward 2 (US DoE I think, announced 2014: http://investors.cray.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=98390&p=irol-newsA...). Looks like Barcelona Supercomputing Center also deployed ARM based test systems quite awhile ago (http://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/barcelona-supercomputing-c..., http://gizmodo.com/5898633/can-an-arm-based-supercomputer-be...).

For what it's worth, there's current ARM propaganda [huge PDF!] at http://emit.tech/EMiT2016/Adeniyi-Jones-EMiT2016-Barcelona.p... (and incidentally something related to a more interesting sort of ARM-based system from the same meeting: http://emit.tech/EMiT2016/Navaridas-EMiT2016-Barcelona.pdf). That may not be terribly relevant to Fujitsu, though.
