The demands of enterprise and high performance computing mandate highly reliable and scalable 64-bit systems. UltraSPARC III based systems offer customers investment protection already built in with CPU features including copper interconnect for improved signaling and best-in-class power consumption, shortened 65 nanometer gate length for faster performance, mixed speeds in a chassis, thermal and electrical footprint preservation enabling simple upgrade paths and industry-leading RAS. UltraSPARC III based systems are optimized to meet, or exceed, customer expectations providing real-world performance and reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Uptime Bus, error removal and recovery, ECC (error correction code) on every external data interface.
On-chip memory controller, capable of addressing up to 16 GB of main memory at 2.4 Gbps. The Sun Fireplane Interconnect running at 150 MHz provides the system bus interface.
64-bit data addressing, four-way superscalar, 14 stage non-stalling pipeline, speculative execution, on-chip memory controller and L2 tags, up to 8 MB external L2 cache, advanced process technology including copper interconnects, low-k interlayer dialectric.
