Back when Fugaku was new, it was highly praised for being GPU-less
design that matches and slightly exceeds an efficiency of GPU-based (and
other vector accelerator based) supercomputers. But that was possible
only because NVidea had unusually long pause between successive
generations of Tesla and at the same moment AMD and Intel GPGPUs were
not yet considered fit for serious supercomputing.
 
That was in November 2019. Never before or since.

Fugaku is still at number 4 on the Top500, though--even after all these
years. And don’t forget the Chinese systems, using their home-grown CPUs
without access to Nvidia GPUs. There’s one at number 11.

Should we be looking at the Green500 list instead?
