Chip Multithreading (CMT) Design Innovation

World Class Performance
The UltraSPARC T2 or T2 Plus processor, the first "system on a chip," has more cores and threads for higher throughput and efficiency than any other general-purpose processor. Optimized for the highest performance, Sun's Chip Multithreading (CMT) servers with CoolThreads technology deliver up to 4x higher performance at as little as 1/4 the cost of competitive systems.
Power Efficiency
UltraSPARC T2 processor is powered by less than 95 watts (nominal) with less than 2 watts per thread. Up to 4x higher performance per watt and 2–4x higher memory and internal storage expandability all in half the space of competitive systems.
Breakthrough Virtualization
World's first server with built-in, no-cost Logical Domains (LDoms) and Solaris Containers virtualization technologies. Virtualization is FREE and built-in, saving up to $10,500 per server.
Highest Security
Integrated, on-chip cryptographic acceleration that supports ten industry standards, including NSA-approved security ciphers, comes at no additional cost. Sun is the only vendor to bundle Virtualization, Crypto, and OS at no extra cost.
Maximum Density
Delivers massive throughput of up to 256 simultaneous compute threads and up to 512 GB of memory in one system. Up to 2-4x higher memory and internal storage expandability all in half the space of competitive systems.
Extreme Scalability
Ranging from a single-socket blade or 1RU system up to a 64-socket datacenter server, with the SPARC/Solaris architecture and full binary compatibility.
