Star Sun Open Sources UltraSPARC T1 Processor
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Wed 7th Dec 2005 09:41 UTC, submitted by Sebastian Schildt
SUN Microsystems Sun announced plans to publish specifications for the UltraSPARC-based chip, including the source of the design expressed in Verilog, a verification suite and simulation models, instruction set architecture specification (UltraSPARC Architecture 2005) and a Solaris OS port. The goal is to enable community members to build on proven technology at a markedly lower cost and to innovate freely. The source code will be released under an Open Source Initiative (OSI)-approved open source license. The 'older' SPARC architectures were also open.

I would like to have a cpu with 32 ARM Cortex cores @ 1Ghz+ and <15W power consumption instead of Niagara.
How about 3000 realtime mp3 streams decoding in software? =)
