CoolThreads Technology: a Breakthrough Discovery that Sets the New Standard for the Shared Enterprise

Until now, two threads per core or two cores per processor was the best you could get for mainstream, commercial computing. Now, the UltraSPARC T1, with its onboard memory subsystem, changes everything. The UltraSPARC T1 processor gives you up to eight processing cores with four threads per core. It's like a rack of servers on one chip. With up to 32 simultaneous threads in one incredibly low-power, low-heat processor, you gain the high-volume throughput you need, while saving millions on power and cooling costs. The new standard is here, get ready to move ahead - faster and cooler than ever before.
