Sun released a glimpse of the future for Sparc with plans to release servers based on its future high-end Rock processors...
"The Rock processor family, along with lower-end Niagara models, will employ a design called chip multithreading to let a chip run several tasks simultaneously. Rock previously was code-named 30x because it is designed to run systems 30 times faster than the 1.2GHz UltraSparc III that arrived in 2003."
Rock requires the totally kick *** 65nm process, and should arrive in 2008.
