It seems Fujitsu SPARC processor architecture does not decline as the sun ,become etched only people in the Oracle for the cherish the memory of history. Because most of the cooperation framework in support of SPARC manufacturers have not yet fully-Fujutsu give up, in a few days ago released the results of the latest R & D, SPARC64 VIIIfx (code Venus).
This 45-nanometer process, a single eight-core computing power is known as the highest Processor: 1,280 per second to perform one billion floating-point operations (128GFLOPS), and own the previous generation of SPARC64 VII compared to performance three-fold. With the fastest Intel processors, Venus only consume 1 / 3 of electricity, will be able to provide 2.5 times the computing power.
Venus also test for the current stage, the actual start time has not yet been clear, is expected to come out next year.
