WBMW, <I remember seeing slides that mentioned USIV in 2001 and USV in 2003. USV was supposed to be multi-threaded and multicore, but now there hasn't been any mention of it. Equally alarming was that Sun doesn't even seem to have any signs of USIV in the works.>

Sun laid out plans for their UltraSPARC V back in Microprocessor Forum 1999. It did not have any multithreaded capability, nor was it multicore.

A lot of things can change over the course of two years, but it's hard to believe that Sun doesn't have a successor to USIII in the works.
