    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,

        Yeah I had a slight hope that they'd be a one of the first real Rapidus customers. but apparently not (for this one at least).
