Submission + - Sun Releasing 8-Core Niagara 2 Processor

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Thursday August 02, 2007 @10:11PM

An anonymous reader writes: Sun Microsystems is set to announce its eight-core Niagara 2 processor next week. Each core supports eight threads, so the chip handles 64 simultaneous threads, making it the centerpiece of Sun's "Throughput Computing" effort. Along with having more cores than the quads from Intel and AMD, the Niagara 2 have dual, on-chip 10G Ethernet ports with crytopgraphic capability. Sun doesn't get much processor press, because the chips are used only in its own CoolThreads servers, but Niagara 2 will probably be the fastest processor out there when its released, other than perhaps the also little-known 4-GHz IBM Power 6.

I apologize for the time between entries, but as many of you know, CmdrTaco has now all but eliminated trolling on Slashdot - and deserves our thanks for all his hard work! However a recent upsurge in trolling over the last four months has created some changes in the Master Troll Blacklist, and I'll document some of these changes for you now.

Sllort is a vicious troll.
Mwalker is a crapflooder troll.
Enoch Root is a troll who links to hateful obscenities.
Ekrout is an idiot troll.

And you too are a troll.

Stop whining; you have been silenced.
