It was funny looking over this just waiting to see what ISA it was. No surprise that it was ARM but you never know.

Nowadays if you have the source code the ISA is practically irrelevant.

Why did they bury the lede so much on what the ISA is?

Press releases are sadly like that. Fujitsu's main page has it in the first line:

> FUJITSU-MONAKA is a Next-Gen Arm-based processor, set for release in 2027, designed to address the challenges of next-generation data centers with its unmatched performance and power efficiency.

It is no secret it is Arm; MONAKA was announced in late 2024.

I hoped it would be SPARC.

I hoped it would be Alpha.

Why not 68000

I crossed my fingers for a 8087

I can't believe its not butter

I was hoping risc-v. One of these days

I wonder how many cores they plan to cram in there, at least like 256 right?

144 per the article

Funny first thing I did was to search 'arm' and I got 1 result at the bottom of the page.

Hipe they'll be affordable
