Sun Microsystems has canceled its lower-end UltraSparc IIIi+ 'Serrano' processor, choosing instead to focus its priorities on alternatives including its more radical 'Niagara' chip family. Sun had planned to introduce the UltraSparc IIIi+ chips in three servers, the V215, V245 and V445, models that likely will be announced at a Sun event Sept. 13. But the company chose to scrap the chip, John Fowler, Sun's executive vice president of systems, said in an interview Thursday.

Sun could have just used the other archetectures they've alreadyt been doing and are focusing on.. since manufacturing isnt perfect im positive some chips will only have one working core, etc.. etc.. and those would be more sensible lower end chips for lower end sparc servers as its cost effective, the chips work great and it just makes sense.
