Also you can buy a SPARC server for very cheap on eBay, less than a hundred bucks in many cases. Shipping is usually more expensive than the item itself. There are thousands or more of those things out there.
- chasil 3y agoOracle also offers free SPARC cores from the former "Niagra" line. The T2 has vastly better FPU performance than the T1. https://www.oracle.com/servers/technologies/opensparc-t2-page.html https://www.oracle.com/servers/technologies/opensparc-t2-pag... https://www.oracle.com/servers/technologies/opensparc-t1-page.html https://www.oracle.com/servers/technologies/opensparc-t1-pag... It is doubtful that Intel would ever consider doing such a thing with Itanium.
- meepmorp 3y agoYou can buy new SPARC servers from Fujitsu: https://www.fujitsu.com/global/products/computing/servers/unix/sparc/ https://www.fujitsu.com/global/products/computing/servers/un... I believe they develop their own chip designs.
- sillywalk 3y agoI'm not sure if they're "new". It looks like those servers use the SPARC64 XII, from 2017-18 "Fujitsu is going to continue Fujitsu SPARC M12 server sales until fiscal 2029 and support services until fiscal 2034."
