SPARC64 V

The SPARC64 V architecture comes from a joint venture between Sun Microsystems and Fujitsu from the year 2004. It belongs to the so-called Advanced Product Line ( APL ) based on the SPARC processor to. The SPARC64 V was, however, designed in 1999 by HAL Computer Systems, together with Fujitsu, but the newly unveiled 64 -bit core differs by its sheer cache sizes by the then prototype from radically. The production of the SPARC64 V processors was originally made using copper interconnects with a feature size of 0.13 micron, newer processors are manufactured with smaller feature sizes. Fujitsu's SPARC64 V processors are the first outside the mainframe area, which check the validity of a data bus line address to the remainder.

In early 2008 appeared the SPARC64 VII 2.7 GHz. This is the quad-core version of the SPARC64 V. The SPARC64 VII is bus - compatible with the SPARC64 VI. The 8- core processor SPARC64 VIII was introduced in 2009.
