	UltraSparc's future laid bare - ZDNet UK
		However, the launch of UltraSparc IV+, the development of several more ambitious models and a partnership with Fujitsu are signs that the company is maintaining its commitment to the Sparc family.
		The UltraSparc IV was built using a manufacturing process that permits 130nm features, but the IV+ uses a 90nm process that allows smaller features and therefore more circuitry on the chip.
		Next up in the UltraSparc family is the UltraSparc IIIi+, an improved version of the IIIi that is due to launch in the next few months for Sun's lower-end Sparc servers.

	Sun's UltraSparc IV approacheth \| The Register
		Since the UltraSparc IV puts two UltraSparc III processor cores on the same chip, Sun is saying the new processor will preform about 1.6 to 2 times as fast as its predecessor.
		Since UltraSparc IV is a dual core chip, you more or less get two processors for every one you had before.
		The UltraSparc V chip is to be a whole new design and should arrive sometime in 2006.

	Sun shelves UltraSPARC V in favor of the great unknown \| The Register
		Sun is laying off at least 500 engineers in Chelmsford, Massachusetts and Sunnyvale, California who worked on projects relating to the UltraSPARC V chip and its chipset code-named "Eagle," sources said.
		In February, Sun slipped the cancellation of UltraSPARC VI past a sedated press corps.
		In fact, when Sun announced the "Rock" family back in February, the UltraSPARC V chip was still on the company's public roadmap.

	Sun to Release UltraSPARC T1 Processor-Based Systems This Year :: News :: www.hardwarezone.com®
		Based on PICMG 3.x standards, the new UltraSPARC T1 processor-based blade will dramatically reduce the number of blades necessary to deliver high-capacity 3G network infrastructure and IP service architectures, saving carriers millions in system, power, cooling and space costs.
		Ideal for telecommunications blade architectures, where board and CPU space is limited, the new UltraSPARC T1 processor is expected to allow greater throughput than any other ATCA blade, allowing NEPs and carriers to support unprecedented numbers of calls and services on the industry's most dense AdvancedTCA blade servers ever.
		Sun's upcoming ATCA blade server family will be certified to the NEBS level 3 requirements of central offices and delivers many features designed to lower the total cost of development and accelerate the development of high-capacity, next-generation telecommunications services with a focus on delivering the highest service levels.

	Sun announces UltraSparc T1 (a.k.a. Niagara)
		Sun is finally ready to put its money where its mouth is, with the formal unveiling of its long-awaited Niagara server processor.
		The official name of Niagara is "UltraSparc T1," and it's the first of a series of massively parallel designs aimed at enabling Sun to recapture the server market.
		The cores use a coarse-grained multithreading approach, in which only one thread runs at a time and the currently running thread yields the processor in the event of a pipeline stall to another one of the four threads that can be scheduled to run on each core.

	Sun puts a plus on UltraSPARC servers \| The Register
		Sun Microsystems did its bread and butter thing this week by releasing a fresh version of the UltraSPARC IV chip that will slot into four- to 24-way servers.
		Many analysts cite Itanium and Power5 as better overall performers than the UltraSPARC IV chip, but Sun continues to hold a massive chunk of the high-end server market despite such speed gaps.
		Later this year, Sun is expected to release two systems based on its "Niagara" chip, which combines numerous UltraSPARC cores to create a single part that can handle web and application serving software well.

	AnandTech: SUN’s UltraSparc T1 - the Next Generation Server CPUs
		It is SUN's first implementation of their Throughput computing philosophy, and compared to what we are used to in the AMD/Intel world, it is a pretty extreme architecture that focuses on network and server performance.
		SUN's Ultrasparc T1 is little less than a revolution in the server world.
		The basic idea behind the UltraSparc T1 is that most modern superscalar Out-Of-Order CPUs may be excellent for games, digital content creation and scientific calculations, but they are not a good match for commercial server loads.
