I'd love to respond but this is a highly confidential subject.

I can only comment with what I know is 100% public knowledge.

No known(in produxtion or trade rags)
64 bit (or any bit) Sparc machine supports the x86
instruction set in hardware.

HaL Computers builds and sells a Sparc-V9(64 bit) chip (set?) and
system. It has performance figures which are publically attainable
but not at my finger tips. Roughly -- it is about the same
or lower than our better 32 bit (V-8) offerings.
HaL is a Fujitsu subsidary.

FYI, 64 bits doesn't mean better performance all the time.

cheers,

Mike
