SBUS

  • 3 SBus Slots on 140 and 170
  • 2 SBus Slots on 170E
  • is a 64 bit on the Ultra Systems
  • SBus speed is 25MHz

    MEMORY

  • MAX of 512MB
  • is either 8MB, 32MB, 64MB 60ns SIMMS
  • A 128MB SIMM was announced for the May/June timeframe
  • This will take the Ultra1 systems to 1GB.
  • there is a total of 8 slots
  • Memory is added in pairs and will cycle down to the smallest SIMM
  • 128bit high speed memory bus

    PROCESSOR

  • 16KB of instruction cache
  • 16KB of data cache
  • 512KB of external cache
  • 2 times the number of FP units compared to SuperSPARC
  • The 140 runs at 143MHz
  • The 170[E] runs at 167MHz

  • OPERATING SYSTEM

  • Solaris 2.5

    UPA

  • The UPA is the Ultra Port Architecture.
  • The UPA is buffered cross-bar interconnect.
  • This allows multiple simultaneous transfers.
  • and is a first for a desktop system.

    GRAPHICS

  • The 170E and 200E as the FFB which replaces
  • the SX, ZX and the TGX+.
  • The creator has 5MB of 3D ram.
  • The creator-3D has 15MB of 3D ram.
  • The FFB or creator sits on its own bus.
