Eight-core Sparc64 processor to come?
August 27, 2008 (IDG News Service) Fujitsu is developing an eight-core version of its Sparc64 processor, which should give a performance boost to the Sparc Enterprise Servers that Fujitsu jointly develops with Sun Microsystems Inc.
Fujitsu’s Takumi Maruyama mentioned the chip briefly at the end of a presentation on Tuesday at the Hot Chips conference in Palo Alto, Calif., but he provided few details, including when the processor will ship.
It will succeed the four-core Sparc64 VII processor released in servers from Fujitsu and Sun in July. The Sparc Enterprise Servers use Fujitsu’s chips and Sun’s Solaris 10 operating system. The companies develop the systems together but market and sell them separately.
Very cool, it will be interesting to see how these new processors perform and what thermal/energy efficiency features are included in their design. Will these processors feature in the blade and rack server platforms? We’ll have to wait and see.
