I have a softspot for sun, I used to work for an Op's team looking after a bunch of E6500's and a couple of 6900's. The downfall of Sparc was the move away from x86, since x64 came through, the main advantage of massive amounts of memory disappeared over night. Multicores just sealed the coffin.
Threads, surely you mean strands? That's what Oracle call them.
Watch the video center left. Must of been there for at least two years and no one has noticed.
recently SPARC has been pretty crappy on single threaded performance, but very good at multi-threaded server loads (surprise?), additionally, a SPARC M class server is like $60k+
tis nuts I say
