Sparc Niagara was only twenty years too soon.
- rbanffy 3y agoIndeed, but there is a catch - the Niagara cores had high thread counts, which creates issues with VM isolation. Single-thread designs are better for virtualization in that 1 core is one vCPU. I tested Niagara boxes a long time ago and their price/performance for web hosting wasn't competitive with Dell or IBM x86.
