Sun Microsystems announces fastest commodity microprocessor
Sun Microsystems, Inc. has
announced the UltraSPARC(R) T2 microprocessor.
"Available for sale separate from Sun's own
systems, this new processor is the industry's first volume processor with
eight cores and eight threads per core. Formerly known as the "Niagara 2"
project, the UltraSPARC T2's world-record performance raises the bar on
commodity processors while boasting the industry's highest energy
efficiency per thread. With each thread capable of running its own
operating system, the chip delivers a whopping 64-way system on a single
chip."
