Sun announced their entrance into the commodity silicon business with the UltraSPARC T2 (or Niagara 2), which is their fastest processor to date, delivering 89.6 Ghz of parallel computing on a single chip. They have signed their first OEM agreement with Marvell, and more are sure to follow.
In a surprising move, Sun will be releasing the blueprints and core design files and test suites for the T2 under the GPL.
