I only did a quick look at the article... but it seems that Sun is
simply skipping two generations in the roadmap (anyone please correct me
if I am wrong). SPARC seems to be alive - and maybe even better than
ever before (the disadvantage is that Sun engineering may not get any
feedback from the planned (and now cancelled) chips and now runs into a
completely new design-land. But remember... UltraSPARC-I's "birth" was
similar "rougth"...).
