Japanese tech giant Fujitsu has embarked on the development of next-generation semiconductors aimed at use in servers and other platforms associated with artificial intelligence technologies, according to Kommersant citing Nikkei.

The new chips will be manufactured using a cutting-edge 1.4-nanometer process technology. The first samples are expected to be available by 2029.

Production of the new semiconductors will be located in Japan. The project will involve Rapidus, a consortium established in 2022 that brings together major Japanese technology and industrial companies such as NTT, SoftBank, Denso, MUFG Bank, NEC, Sony, Toyota, and Kioxia.

The project is also supported by the Japanese government. The new chips are primarily intended for use in data processing infrastructure and AI systems, where demand for more powerful and energy-efficient solutions is growing.
