Any news about Sun/Fujitsu Sparc64 VII? #

Maybe the Sparc64 VII can compete with the new Itaniums? It's got twice the cores/threads of the Sparc64 VI. Hope it's not so late!

Expect Sun to extend the Fujitsu contract past 2008 and they will rely on Niagara III for their volume sales.

It is uncommon to described memory throughput in Gbit/s instead of GByte/s. I think you made the classic mistake of confusing b (bit) with B (byte).
