  • is a 64 bit on the Ultra Systems
  • SBus speed is 25MHz

    MEMORY

  • MAX of 1GB
  • is either 8MB, 32MB, 64MB 60ns SIMMS
  • A 128MB SIMM was announced for the May/June timeframe
  • This will take the Ultra2 systems to 2GB.
  • there is a total of 16 slots
  • Memory is added in groups of 4 and will cycle down to the smallest SIMM
  • 128bit high speed memory bus

    PROCESSOR

  • 16KB of instruction cache
  • 16KB of data cache
  • 1MB of external cache
  • 2 times the number of FP units compared to SuperSPARC
