Yeah, a standardized ISA extension, but I'd bet Fujitsu spent a ton of time on the implementation details. They have a deep history of making high performance vector processors going back to the 80s, and high performance SPARC cores parallel to that. They may not be huge volume, but they know how to make a fast processor.

Fujitsu developed SVE together with ARM.
