Fujitsu and Sun boost SPARC enterprise servers with new SPARC64 processors
Fujitsu and Sun Microsystems today announced new quad-core SPARC64 VII processors and an enhanced memory controller for the SPARC Enterprise server line. The faster SPARC64 VII processors deliver up to 25 percent better performance than the previous generation and with new memory access enhancements, the updated SPARC Enterprise systems have delivered outstanding performance on key enterprise benchmarks.
Running at 2.88GHz for the SPARC Enterprise M9000 and M8000 servers and 2.53GHz for SPARC Enterprise M5000 and M4000 servers, the new processors provide increased single-thread and overall system performance, while the enhanced memory controller in the SPARC Enterprise M8000 and M9000 servers improves throughput under memory-intensive workloads.
