TSMCannounced that it had been accepted as the exclusive foundry of Oracle T4processor; T4 process would adopt 40 nm technology and it is expected that T4will be put into mass production before the end of this year. Before acquiredby Oracle, Sun had already launched its SPARC T3 electronic components processor, codenamed asRainbowFalls, with TI as its exclusive foundry. In the year of 2007, TIdeclared to stop developing technologies below 45nm, turned to work with waferfoundry. Then, Sun passed its SPARC process production to TSMC and Fujitsu.Afteracquired Sun, for high-end server and supercomputer operating system,integrated SPARC processors hardware with software, Oracle releases its SPARCT4 processor with the codename as YosemiteFalls. By adopting Oracles newlydeveloped S3 core, T4 processors will be equipped with the order executiontechnology, operating at frequencies above 3GHz with about 855 millionintegrated transistors. Additionally, its integer Pipeline can reach 16 level,which is as five times as T3 processors integer operating performance, andseven times of floating points performance.In therecent years, relying on its strong R & D capabilities, TSMC has got ordersfrom X86 architecture processor of AMDs Ontario and Zacate, VIANano dual-coreX86 architecture processor and ARM architecture processor which is now widelyused in smartphones, tablet PCs. TSMC is the real threat to Intel now.With thegrowing popularity of cloud computing, the demands of high-end servers andsupercomputers increase rapidly. Oracle expresses that in the next year, itwill continue to introduce two new SPARC-based processors. The four coreYellowstone Falls processor will be released in 2012, while 16 core CascadeFalls processor will launch at the end of 2012. Both these two super-processorscomputing speed will exceed 3GHZ, adopting 28 nm process technologies. It isexpected that TSMC will be the exclusive foundry for both these two processors.Key Features of the T-Series Roadmap Asannounced and discussed at Oracle OpenWorld in September, 2010, Oracle has beenopen about the basics of the SPARC roadmap for T-series processors. Althoughthe exact details about the launches and the technical timeline are still notknown, the overall plan has been described at Oracle OpenWorld as follows: T3-3 was introduced in fall, 2010, with 16 cores and 128 threads. The T3series replaced the SPARC T2, which was introduced in 2007 with 8 cores and 64threads T3-3servers were introduced in the T3-1B blade; T3-1 rack optimized server (2 RU)and the T3-2 rack optimized server (3RU) products in 2010 T4-based servers are expected to be announced in fall, 2011, with serverform-factors from 1 to 4 sockets; volume shipments are expected in 2012. Amajor release of the Oracle Solaris operating system, Solaris 11, is expectedto ship at the same time, although beta versions and Solaris Express versionshave been available to developers and Oracle partners since late 2010. Another T-Series server product refresh is expected to take place in 2013 twoyears following the initial T4 announcement this fall, and it will becoincident with another update of Solaris 11. Oracle expects to work with Fujitsu to have updates to the Fujitsu-designed SPARC64VII+ processors for the M-Series servers with announcements in 2012 and 2014,as indicated in the roadmaps shown at Oracle OpenWorld 2010, which have beenpublished to the Internet. Both the Oracle T processors and Fujitsu SPARC64processors are designed to the same "V9 architecture" so that theyrun the same applications.From http://www.hqew.net
