In the world of supercomputers, the large number of processors requires to minimize the inefficiencies of parallelization, which appear as a sequential part of the program from the point of view of Amdahl's law. The recently suggested new figure of merit is applied to the recently presented supercomputer, and the timeline of "Top 500" supercomputers is scrutinized using the metric. It is demonstrated, that in addition to the computing performance and power consumption, the new supercomputer is also excellent in the efficiency of parallelization. Based on the suggested merit, a "Moore-law" like observation is derived for the timeline of parallelization efficacy of supercomputers.
