Sun developed the UltraSPARC IIe processor to meet the needs of embedded
64-bit computing and low-end workstation systems. This remarkable chip
delivers impressive computing throughput in a highly integrated package,
with efficient power consumption to enable compact, low-cost system
designs. The UltraSPARC IIe processor is based on the same 64-bit SPARC
V9 architecture found in many Internet and enterprise servers. The
UltraSPARC IIe processor provides a low-end entry to Sun's exceptional
performance, reliability, and scalability, making it ideal for demanding
datacom, Internet, telecom, and network environments.
