Fujitsu announced a new high-end model group for its GS8000 (global server) series in January 1998. This was the first time standard CMOS processors were used in ultra-large Fujitsu mainframe computers. On a single CPU basis, the GS8800 models outperformed the previous ultra-large GS8600 models by 1.8 times, and the flagship 12-CPU model outperformed its counterpart by about 2.3 times. With the addition of the GS8800 model group, the GS8000 series covered a 3,400-fold performance range.
