From the Wall Street Journal: Sun Promises Jump in Speed in New Servers Article Sun Microsystems Inc. and Fujitsu Ltd. are expected to unveil Monday a new line of server systems that exploit a multibrained Sun chip to deliver a big jump in performance. The new machines can use four of the Sun UltraSparc T2 chips, which each have the core circuitry of eight microprocessors. Sun said each of those engines, in turn, can simultaneously carry out as many as eight sets of computing instructions known as threads. As a result, each chip has the capability of simultaneously handling 64 threads -- and a four-chip server can carry out 256 threads at once, said John Fowler, an executive vice president in charge of Sun's systems business. Sun had been selling servers that use two of the chips. The new systems' price starts at $45,000.
