Server Features

The server is a high-performance entry-level server that is highly scalable and
extremely reliable.

2.1.1 Chip Multitheaded Multicore Processor and
Memory Technology
The UltraSPARC
T1 processor is based on chip multithreading (CMT) technology that is optimized for
highly threaded transactional processing. The UltraSPARC T1 processor improves
throughput while using less power and dissipating less heat than conventional
processor designs.
Depending on the model purchased, the processor has four, six, or eight UltraSPARC
cores. Each core equates to a 64-bit execution pipeline capable of running four
threads. The result is that the 8-core processor handles up to 32 active threads
concurrently.
