SPARC T series

<p>The SPARC T-series family of <a href="/facts/RISC/aQbGM62p">RISC</a> processors and <a href="/facts/Server_computer/dEaYFD7r">server computers</a>, based on the <a href="/facts/SPARC_V9/m7KhEtET">SPARC V9</a> architecture, was originally developed by <a href="/facts/Sun_Microsystems/VJ9EzEFd">Sun Microsystems</a>, and later by <a href="/facts/Oracle_Corporation/0z14FygH">Oracle Corporation</a> after its <a href="/facts/Acquisition_of_Sun_Microsystems_by_Oracle_Corporation/W2K9XL4y">acquisition of Sun</a>. Its distinguishing feature from earlier SPARC iterations is the introduction of chip multithreading (CMT) technology, a <a href="/facts/Multithreading_(computer_architecture)/ojEKsSNP">multithreading</a>, <a href="/facts/Multi-core_processor/ABNb65hQ">multicore</a> design intended to drive greater processor utilization at lower power consumption.
</p><p>The first generation T-series processor, the <a href="/facts/UltraSPARC_T1/mfxg7MjI">UltraSPARC T1</a>, and servers based on it, were announced in December 2005. As later generations were introduced, the term "T series" was used to refer to the entire family of processors.
