Sun Microsystems has unveiled a new processor in its UltraSparc line of processors, the UltraSparc T1, codename Niagara. The chip boasts 8 "computing engines" and according to an article on ABC News, uses about half the power of traditional processors.
I hope this improves sales of Sun machines. I'd like to see Sun stick around. Sun has made some pretty sweet machines, and it's nice to have an alternative to the Intel/AMD architecture, even if the machines are a little expensive.
Go Sun, go!
