Sun opens UltraSPARC T2

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.
