Fujitsu is developing new ARM based CPUs called Monaka, but their focus seems to be HPC and AI, no mention of "normal" servers

A Fujitsu ARM Server for normal people that I can buy through a normal retail channel and boot a freakin' generic Linux ISO... that would be great!

(Yes, I'm aware of Ampere Altra. The space desperately needs competition and commoditization, imho.)

The funny thing is that Fujitsu has a sizable enterprise IT business, and their Primergy servers are very good, so why don't they offer their own ARM CPUs?

The previous A64fx was just for HPC. Monaka looks more general purpose so maybe they will sell Monaka servers.
