Fujitsu will begin selling its Monaka processors and servers in November, bringing forward plans originally targeting 2027. The Japanese company will offer the chips to cloud operators and server manufacturers. The Monaka processor features four 2nm compute dies with 36 cores each, totalling 144 cores. It uses Broadcom's 3D-chip stacking technology and Armv9 architecture, incorporating four SRAM 5nm chiplets connected by a central I/O die with DDR5 and PCIe 6.0 connectivity. Fujitsu will launch three server configurations: one-unit and two-unit models for general use, plus a two-unit variant designed for high-performance computing. The company claims the processor can handle double the inferencing output of rival CPUs. Initial sales will target Japan and Europe, with Fujitsu positioning the technology as a sovereign solution. Pricing has not been disclosed.

Fujitsu plans to export AI semiconductors developed using technology from its Fugaku supercomputer to the US and Asia as early as next year. The Japanese company is leveraging its supercomputing expertise to enter the AI chip market, targeting international expansion in key regions where demand for artificial intelligence processing capabilities continues to grow.

Fujitsu has developed the world's first working prototype of a diamond-spin quantum computer incorporating tin-vacancy centres into photonic integrated circuits. The prototype operates at -271.6°C, higher than typical superconducting quantum computers at -273.13°C. The system can be used via Fujitsu's Hybrid Quantum Computing Platform without specialist knowledge. It represents progress towards modular quantum computing architecture due to high fidelity and efficient optical connectivity. The prototype is based on joint research started in 2020 by Fujitsu, Delft University of Technology, and QuTech. Fujitsu aims to achieve a 250 logical qubit system by fiscal 2030 and 1,000 logical qubits by fiscal 2035. The diamond-spin approach offers scalability and potential integration with superconducting quantum computers for more complex computations.
