   Fun fact, Fujitsu used to run their own fabs in Japan until they were sold to UMC and now they're another UMC fab although they are stuck at like the 20nm node. So this is likely made at JASM.

      I think they'd say if the CPU was fabbed in Japan, instead there's some very "careful" wording:

      >next-generation CPU, FUJITSU-MONAKA [1], designed and developed in Japan

      >Fujitsu MONAKA Server, powered by the FUJITSU-MONAKA CPU, enhances sovereign capabilities through domestic manufacturing,

         Right below the headline it says:

         > Achieving world-class AI inference performance through Japan-developed 2nm 3D-stacked CPU and server integrated, developed, and manufactured in Japan

         Sounds pretty clear to me

            The compute part must have been made in Taiwan because it uses TSMC N2. TSMC N2 is only available in Taiwan right now due to a law restricting the latest node to Taiwan for 1-2 years.

               That's Taiwan's silicon shield which the taiwanese see as important. That's why japan has rapidus and the us has Intel
