Sun UltraSparc4+ Servers Promise Big Boost In Performance
Sun are releasing a new line of servers. They include the new UltraSparc4+ processor. According to informationweek.com they will provide a five fold increase in performance from the older generation UltraSparc3 cpu's and a three times increase on the UltraSparc4. Pricing starts at $30,995.
On the heels of its Galaxy platform announcement for the x86-based server market, Sun Microsystems on Tuesday implements an overhaul of its Sparc server line with the introduction of the first systems based on its UltraSparc4+ processor. The top clock cycle of the UltraSparc4+ processors is 1.5 GHz, an increase from the top-end 1.35 GHz UltraSprac4 processor. The new processor, however, adds 2 Mbytes of Level 2 cache, and 32 Mbytes of Level 3 cache directly on the chip, allowing for the dramatic improvements in performance compared with the predecessor UltraSparc devices, says Fadi Azhari, group manager of Sun's scalable systems group.
