The UltraSPARC T2 processor is the industry's first "system on a chip", packing the most cores and threads of any general-purpose processor available, and integrating all the key functions of a system on a single chip: computing, networking, security, and input/output (I/O), plus tight integration with the Solaris Operating System. With eight cores and 64 threads on one chip, integrated 10 Gb Ethernet (10 GbE) networking, crypto, and PCI Express expansion, you have the jump on anything else on the market. The UltraSPARC T2 processor consumes less power per core and thread than any processor in its class - without compromising on performance. It gives OEMs a massively threaded, multicore alternative to power-hungry processors, with fewer threads, from competing vendors. The superior compute power and multithreaded 10 GbE networking of the UltraSPARC T2 processor make it especially valuable for consolidation and virtualization projects. For example, by leveraging the unique, no-cost advantages of Solaris Containers and Logical Domains (LDoms), the UltraSPARC T2 processor enables you to run up to 64 domains on one processor. That can help you completely refactor your network infrastructure while helping you save thousands of dollars.
