Japanese company Fujitsu, according to colleagues from the site PCWorld , does not really believe in the cloudless future of the SPARC processor architecture, but is still determined to introduce processors with new architecture by 2020. Now the newest product with SPARC architecture is the SPARC64 XII processor with 12 cores and 4.25 GHz frequency. It has already laid the foundation for the Fujitsu M12-2S and M12-2 servers that are running the Solaris 11 operating system. They are optimized for the Oracle software platform. By the way, Fujitsu servers on the basis of processors with SPARC architecture are sold to Oracle itself.
Compared to the servers of the M10 series, which used the SPARC64 X processors, the new servers of the M12 series provide an increase in performance by two and a half times. The flagship M12-2S can accommodate up to 32 SPARC64 XII processors with 12 cores, as well as 32 TB of RAM. It is noteworthy that the server uses a liquid cooling system. In a single-processor configuration, 32 GB of DDR4 memory, and a 600 GB SAS storage, such a server costs $ 49,000. For a younger dual-processor M12-2 with 2 TB of RAM, you need to give $ 35,000.
