Ultrasparc II (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The UltraSPARC II, code-named "Blackbird," is a microprocessor implementation of the SPARC V9 instruction set architecture (ISA) developed by Sun Microsystems. Marc Tremblay was the chief architect. Introduced in 1997, it was further development of the UltraSPARC operating at higher clock frequencies of 250 MHz, eventually reaching 400 MHz. The die contained 5.4 million transistors and had an area of 149 mm . It was fabricated by Texas Instruments in their 0.35 um process, dissipated 25 W at 205 MHz, and used a 2.5 V power supply. L2 cache capacity was 1 to 4 MB.
