Fujitsu will start selling its Monaka processors, and servers packing them, in November.
Fugaku was the world’s most powerful supercomputer from 2020 to 2022, and remains in ninth place on the Top 500 list six years after its debut.
For years, Fujitsu told the Monaka-curious that the chip would see the light of day in 2027.
The latter will have to compete with Fujitsu itself, which has created three servers that use the CPU:.

The article, shortened and in plain language
Clouds, the sovereign-sensitive, and the inferencing-interested are also about to get sales calls.
Fujitsu will start selling its Monaka processors, and servers packing them, in November.
The Japanese giant started talking about Monaka way back in 2023, when it teased the processor as being derived from the silicon it designed for the Fugaku supercomputer, but adapted for datacenter use.
Fugaku was the world’s most powerful supercomputer from 2020 to 2022, and remains in ninth place on the Top 500 list six years after its debut.
Yet as The Register reported earlier this year, Monaka diverged from the silicon inside Fugaku. The chip features a quartet of 2nm compute dies, each packing 36 cores.
For years, Fujitsu told the Monaka-curious that the chip would see the light of day in 2027.
The company will sell the chip to cloud operators and server manufacturers. The latter will have to compete with Fujitsu itself, which has created three servers that use the CPU:.
A 1U server that can pack one or two processors, running at either 2.1GHz or 2.9GHz, room for eight E3.S SSDs and two M.2 SSDs, and the ability to run in both air-cooled environments where the temperature hits 40C and cope with 45C when using liquid cooling.
