One of the first 2nm data center CPUs, Monaka will use about 150 enhanced Armv9 cores and support accelerators, have the SVE2 instruction set, the vector length can vary from 128bit to 2048bit, and be equipped with SRAM chips and I/O chips. It will support DDR5 memory, PCIe 6.0 connectivity, and CXL 3.0 interconnect.

It is worth mentioning that the successor to Riken’s supercomputer “Fugaku” is planned to be launched around 2030. As such, Monaka is primarily competing for the emerging data center market rather than solving supercomputer performance problems.

Fujitsu introduced its next-generation data center processor, MONAKA, to media and analysts at a research strategy briefing at its Kawasaki plant on Wednesday.

The company plans to launch the processor in fiscal 2027, which will use Arm architecture and TSMC’s 2nm process and will achieve twice the energy efficiency of competitors.

Naoki Shinjo, general manager of Fujitsu’s advanced technology development department, said: “The amount of data processed globally in 2030 is expected to reach 10 times that of 2020, and is expected to continue to grow explosively thereafter.” He believes that data will “increase as the amount of data increases. , the demand for large data centers will also increase, but unless we reduce energy consumption, it will be difficult to achieve carbon neutrality.”

FUJITSU-MONAKA aims to significantly improve the energy efficiency of data centers and pursue high-speed data processing required for AI and DX.

According to reports, the processor is based on Fujitsu’s unique technologies, such as the micro-architecture and low-voltage technology cultivated by supercomputers K and Fugaku. It also uses Arm’s latest architecture “Armv9-A” and TSMC’s 2nm process, and will also use 3D Chiplet packaging technology. wait.

Fujitsu said that the number of processor cores they are currently developing is about 150, supports SVE2 SIMD, supports DDR5 memory, the external interface supports PCI Express 6.0 (CXL 3.0), and the cooling system supports air cooling.

A Fujitsu spokesperson told The Register that the company is transforming itself into a “DX company” with the aim of promoting digital transformation and emphasizing sustainability.

Fujitsu has thought long and hard about the matter and has concluded that it will cease its involvement in client computing devices across Europe.

Fujitsu said that existing products will continue to be supported and those under warranty will continue to be maintained accordingly.

Fujitsu said its future European business development strategy, in line with the “DX Company” development goals, focuses on fostering a business framework centered on the theme of sustainable transformation.

That means Fujitsu will no longer sell LifeBook laptops, tablets, and Esprimo PCs in the European market after the next eight months.

Fujitsu said the decision is limited to the European market and does not affect other markets. Fujitsu said its focus in Europe will shift to its server and storage business, as well as product-related services.

According to reports, this laptop is equipped with a 14-inch 1920 x 1200 resolution screen, an optional i7-1355U processor, equipped with 16GB LPDDR5 memory and 512GB PCIe 4.0 SSD, the thickness of the body is 15.8 to 17.3 mm, and the weight is only 689g.

This laptop adopts a lightweight design, and the weight of each component is reduced. The top is made of carbon fiber, the bottom is made of magnesium-lithium alloy, and the keyboard is made of magnesium alloy, making it light and strong. Interfaces include USB 3.1 Type-C, USB 3.0, HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet ports, etc.

The Fujitsu UH-X / H1 laptop will be available on March 9, and the price is expected to not exceed 240,000 yen (currently about 12,528 CNY).

According to the “Nihon Keizai Shimbun” report, Fujitsu Chief Technology Officer Vivek Mahajan said at a press conference on Tuesday that the company plans to design its own advanced semiconductors with a 2-nanometer process, and intends to entrust wafer foundry leader TSMC to produce them.

The report pointed out that Fujitsu aims to complete the energy-saving central processing unit (CPU) equipped with the chip as soon as 2026.

TSMC currently plans to mass-produce 2-nanometer chips in 2025. The company’s advanced process technology blueprint has only been revealed to 2 nanometers, while rival Samsung Electronics has announced that it will mass-produce 1.4-nanometer chips in 2027. In addition, Intel also revealed that the Intel 18A (equivalent to 1.8 nanometers) test chip will be trial-produced before the end of this year.

Fujitsu said the new optical transmission technology mainly applies three Fujitsu self-developed proprietary technologies, which are digital coherent optical transmission technology, water-cooling technology for optical transmission equipment, and optimization of optical network technology using machine learning. Among them, digital coherent optical transmission technology is a coherent reception method that uses the characteristics of light waves to improve reception sensitivity combined with advanced ultra-high-speed digital signal processing to maximize transmission performance and is the key to the solution.

At the same time, the use of optical transmission equipment and water-cooled cooling technology can significantly improve the efficiency of heat dissipation, reducing power consumption to only 120mW per 1Gbp of data transmitted. Fujitsu said that the new optical transmission technology can reduce CO2 emissions by 70%.

Fujitsu plans to commercialize the optical transmission equipment in the first half of the fiscal year 2023 and begin offering it to customers around the world.

Fujitsu began its collaboration with RIKEN in April last year, with about 20 researchers involved in the project, and the company expects the product to be launched in fiscal 2023 (counting from April this year) and will first be used in the company’s internal financial forecasting as well as in new materials and drug development, the report said.

Fujitsu is already conducting joint research on material design with photoresist maker Fujifilm to explore quantum computing applications, and plans to import further partners.

The report reveals that Fujitsu quantum computers will use the more mature low-temperature superconducting circuit technology route, which has been successfully implemented in Google and IBM products.

For quantum computing scale commercialization, Google to 2029 as a mileage node, drug and materials research and development as an important application scenario, Boston Consulting Group estimates that by 2040, quantum computing can create $ 850 billion in economic benefits in the above application areas each year.

The Nikkei analysis says that Japanese companies that can leverage their strengths in technologies such as superconductivity will have a chance to gain a foothold in the quantum computer competition.

The report also shows that Fujitsu’s prototype under development will be able to operate 64 quantum bits, and the company hopes to produce devices with 1,000 quantum bits by 2027.
