Sources: 8. Developments: 2. Fujitsu has announced the development and upcoming global launch of its next-generation FUJITSU-MONAKA processor and the accompanying Fujitsu MONAKA Server. Developed in Japan through a NEDO program, the hardware is designed to support sovereign AI infrastructure by emphasizing domestic manufacturing and supply-chain transparency. The processor utilizes a 3D-stacked chiplet architecture, combining 2nm CPU cores with 5nm cache and I/O sections. Featuring 144 Arm-v9 cores and a maximum frequency of 3.8GHz, the chip includes dedicated instructions for matrix operations. This design aims to deliver approximately twice the AI inference throughput of competing CPUs, potentially halving the required number of servers and reducing power consumption in data centers. Global sales of the standalone processor are scheduled to begin in November 2026. The Fujitsu MONAKA Server, available in 1U and 2U configurations, will initially target markets in Japan and Europe, with broader availability in the US and Asia-Pacific planned for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026. The technology is intended for sectors such as finance, telecommunications, and manufacturing, and supports confidential computing to protect data in multi-tenant environments. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-15: Fujitsu announces FUJITSU-MONAKA CPU to boost AI efficiency Fujitsu announced the FUJITSU-MONAKA CPU and server, designed to double AI inference throughput while significantly reducing power consumption and server requirements. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/fujitsu-announces-fujitsu-monaka-cpu-to-boost-ai-efficiency ### 2026-09-12: Fujitsu to launch MONAKA CPU for sovereign AI infrastructure Fujitsu will launch its Japan-developed FUJITSU-MONAKA CPU in November 2026, featuring 144 cores and 3D-stacked architecture to provide high-efficiency AI inference for sovereign infrastructure. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/fujitsu-to-launch-monaka-ai-semiconductor-in-late-2026 --- Cite as: Fujitsu MONAKA CPU and server development.
