Features, Functions and Benefits

Balanced Performance
Feature
Function
Benefit
Four-way superscalar pipeline, 64-bit wide memory interface with 800 Mbyte/sec capacity combined with 64-bit wide internal buses.
The UltraSPARC IIe processor can provide a balance of general-purpose computing and operate effectively in embedded networking applications.
It delivers significantly higher data througput than 32-bit processor operating at the same clock rate.

Integrated Components
Feature
Function
Benefit
Includes the memory controller, PCI controller, and Level 2 cache in addition to the CPU, eliminating the need for an external "Northbridge" chip.
All that is needed to create a basic system are clock, power, interrupt controller, boot ROM, SDRAM memory, and PCI bus peripheral chips.
The high degree of integration makes it particularly well-suited for ultra-slim server appliances and 1u rackmount, NEBS-complaint telecommunications computing applications.
