SANTA CLARA, Calif. & TOKYO (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) April 9, 2008 — Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAVA) and Fujitsu Limited (TOKYO:6702) today expanded the Sun and Fujitsu SPARC(R) Enterprise server line with the introduction of two new systems based on the UltraSPARC(R) T2 Plus processor. Scaling from the edge of the network to the heart of the enterprise, the third-generation CMT SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 servers deliver breakthrough performance and scalability and help enable customers to consolidate the datacenter into an ultra-dense, energy efficient compute environment, optimized and managed by the Solaris(TM)10 Operating System (OS). The SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 servers deliver up to 16 times higher compute density than competitive two-socket x86 systems and up to 32 times higher compute density than competitive four-socket x86 systems. The Sun and Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise T5140 and T5240 servers provide up to three times more performance than competitive RISC systems in half the space.

This is great news, these new servers bring more performance to the plarform, and more choice to the consumer which has to be a good thing.  Do check out the article for more information, it’s got some interesting comments about performance per watt and example application performance, it’s always interesting to read these kind of things.
