One thing is having a bunch of computers. Another thing is to get the working efficiently on the same problem. While I'm not sure exascale was something like the sound barrier, I do know a lot of hard work has been done to be able to efficiently utilize such large clusters. Especially the interconnects and network topology can make a huge difference in efficiency[1] and Cray's Slingshot interconnect[2], used in Aurora[3], is an important part of that[4].

HPE Slingshot is not Infiniband and it is proprietary to HPE. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2008.08886.pdf The cooling system is also proprietary to HPE. Not saying that other vendors don't offer their own liquid cooling systems.
