Oracle To Halve Core Count In Next Sparc Processor

[sl4shd0t]

angry tapir writes "Oracle will halve the number of cores in its next Sparc processor and instead improve its single-thread performance, a weak area for the chip but one that's important for running large databases and back-end applications. The next Sparc chip on Oracle's roadmap, the T4, will have eight cores on each chip, down from 16 in the current Sparc T3."http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F10%2F12%2F07%2F2338217%2FOracle-To-Halve-Core-Count-In-Next-Sparc-Processor%3Ffrom%3Dfb) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Oracle+To+Halve+Core+Count+In+Next+Spa rc+Processor%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2Fh5ydOD)
