The UltraSPARC T2 processor is the industry's first "system on a chip," packing the most cores and threads of any general-purpose processor available, and integrating all the key functions of a server on a single chip: computing, networking, security, and input/output (I/O), plus tight integration with the Solaris operating system.
At A Glance
The UltraSPARC T2 processor is the fastest commodity processor with two world-record single-chip SPEC CPU results, based on tests that delivered 78.3 est. SPECint_rate2006 and 62.3 est. SPECfp_rate2006
Powered by less than 95 watts (nominal) with less than 2 watts per thread, this next generation UltraSPARC T2 processor boasts the most functionality, and lowest wattage per core and thread of any processor in its class
