UltraSPARC® Processors
Design-engineered to make the net work

UltraSPARC processors are the industry-leading, 4th generation, 64-bit processor family. Optimized for targeted design points, these processors offer binary compatibility across the line and across time.

Throughput Computing is the underlying strategy of Sun's new family of UltraSPARC processors designed to significantly increase real-world application performance. These processors maximize throughput - the aggregate amount of work done - for network computing workloads by incorporating the technology of chip multithreading (CMT). CMT integrates the power of symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) on to a single chip, allowing a single processor to execute tens of software threads simultaneously. The resulting computer power will eclipse today's processors by a magnitude of 15-30 times.
