Sun Microsystems chief executive Scott McNealy is expected to announce his company's intention to sell servers using Advanced Micro Devices' Opteron processor--a significant endorsement for the chip.
Sun Microsystems is negotiating to buy Montalvo Systems, the chip start-up that has concocted a chip for portables, according to sources.
Sun Microsystems gave developers a gift at the CommunityOne developer conference on Monday a packaged version of OpenSolaris with a new logo.
Sun Microsystems will likely adopt the Opteron processor from Advanced Micro Devices as it extends into new branches of the server market.
With the expected launch of its new UltraSparc T2 chip Sun will once again sell microprocessors, but this time round it has plans to expand beyond the server market.
Whenever the industry's top execs come together to speak to the masses, expectations are high. This year's Oracle OpenWorld conference provided an insight into which vendors have intriguing grand plans, and which ones prefer to rely on marketing bluff.
Multicore processors have been around since 2005, when Intel shipped its first dual-core processor and the advantages of many cores have been widely touted, but a working model for costing software to work with them is still on its way.
In the world of processors, attention seems firmly focused on the fast-paced desktop and mobile markets. But that doesn't mean that there's nothing going on in server-land.
Servers came first; storage systems are next to house Advanced Micro Devices' Opteron chip.
Dell chief executive Kevin Rollins on Monday gave the most direct indication yet that a deal with AMD may be on the way, dropping a strong hint that the news was a question of when, not if.
No longer playing catch-up, AMD sees an opportunity to race ahead of bigger rival Intel, says CTO Fred Weber.
Sun Microsystems will likely adopt the Opteron processor from Advanced Micro Devices as it extends into new branches of the server market.
Sun Microsystems' software products will support AMD's new Opteron--but not initially the chip's 64-bit capabilities that distinguish it from rival Intel processors.
Sun Microsystems VP John Fowler and Sun co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim show off the Sun Fire X4100, part of the new Galaxy family of servers.
With such a wide variety of server platforms available, we take a look at some beefy servers sporting some very impressive processing grunt.
AMD has released its Opteron processor, and several companies have also announced products based on the chip.
