Article Abstract:
The new chip by Sun Microsystems Inc., called Niagara for the torrent of data and instructions that flow between the chip and its memory, was designed to do away with the impact of latency. Sun Microsystems designed and built a microprocessor that works 10 times as efficiency as existing devices for processing applications at half the power consumption of comparable devices.
