    FugakuNEXT, the supercomputer it will be used in, also some details about the next-gen Monaka-X: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;global.fujitsu&#x2F;-&#x2F;media&#x2F;Project&#x2F;Fujitsu&#x2F;Fujitsu-HQ&#x2F;technology&#x2F;research&#x2F;events&#x2F;sca-hpcasia2026&#x2F;SCAsia26-fugakunext.pdf?rev=c773a429546140a3a79c91f4c52bf2ea&amp;hash=1CABB2584E8A0DDBFCB9E17A80D9C457" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;global.fujitsu&#x2F;-&#x2F;media&#x2F;Project&#x2F;Fujitsu&#x2F;Fujitsu-HQ&#x2F;te...

    For a single CPU: 844 GB&#x2F;s memory bandwidth (12 channels of DDR5 RDIMM, 8800MT&#x2F;s). 4.3-6 TFLOPS.

    Basically comparable to a modern (although not top-end) GPU, so good for HPC &amp; AI workloads. (though only 2 CPUs per node, with GPUs 4-8 is more common)
