2.1.1 CPU
The M3000 server contains the multi-core SPARC64 VII+ or SPARC64 VII processors
that provide high performance. The SPARC64 VII+ and SPARC64 VII processors
contain on-chip large-capacity caches (primary and secondary caches) to minimize
memory latency. They also support an instruction retry function that enables
continuous processing by retrying instructions whenever any error is detected.
