  • Abstract
    The 8-core 64-thread 64b power-efficient 2nd-generation Niagara SPARC SoC has 4MB L2 cache with one times8 PCI-Express, two 10G Ethernet (XAUI), and 8 FBDIMM ports. The on-chip SerDes provide greater than 1Tb/s bandwidth. The 500M transistor chip with a die size of 342mm 2 is implemented in a 11M 65nm triple-Vt CMOS process
