Once again, Sun hardware has set new benchmark results on the FLUENT benchmark test suites, besting all other results posted at the FLUENT web site at each core level from one up to the maximum sixteen cores that were available on the X6250 cluster, as reported in BM Seer's blog.
A dual-core Intel Xeon processor for Sun Fire X4150 server is being offered as a new standard configuration. Dual-core Intel Xeon processors are manufactured with state-of-the-art 45nm technology to increase performance at the same power level, and large L2 cache resulting in higher performance - 3MB per core versus 2MB per core.
Sun has introduced new volume configurations for the Sun Fire X4150 and X4450 Intel Xeon-based x64 servers. These are thin configurations with high end processors that customers and partners can build upon, customize, and receive better flexibility and faster turnaround.
Now you can get up to 128GB or 256GB of memory for the Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000 and M5000 servers, respectively, under a new X-option offering 4GM memory modules. Trade-in allowances of up to 20 percent are being offered to customers upgrading from 2GB DIMM to 4GB DIMM modules on existing M4000 and M5000 systems through the Sun Upgrade Advantage Program (UAP).
The paper written by Manish Shah et al., entitled "UltraSPARC T2: A Highly-Threaded, Power-Efficient, SPARC SOC" introduced the processor to many in attendance at the Asian Solid-State Circuits Conference in Jeju, Korea in mid-November 2007.
