   Where are the CPUs fabbed? They make a big deal about "sovereign" but is the CPU actually made in Japan, or do they rely on TSMC?

   Also odd how big an emphasis they put on AI inference when they don't build the GPU?

      The article says that it’s manufactured in Japan.

         where exactly does it say that? I don't consider "designed and developed in Japan" to be the same as manufactured there

            At the very top of the article: "Achieving world-class AI inference performance through Japan-developed 2nm 3D-stacked CPU and server integrated, developed, and manufactured in Japan"

               Pretty sure it's worded in a way that it applies only to the server, so it should be read as two distinct things:

               - Japan-developed 2nm 3D-stacked CPU

               - server integrated, developed, and manufactured in Japan
