Sun will follow with its UltraSPARC V chip in the early part of 2005, according to the roadmaps. That chip will debut at 1.8GHz and reach 3.0GHz by the end of its lifecycle. Sun may boost the speed of the UltraSPARC V further if customers show interest, said Sue Kunz, director of product marketing for Sun's processor products group. Sun plans to build the UltraSPARC V on a .10-micron manufacturing process, the documents show.

Kunz confirmed the authenticity of at least one of the processor roadmaps, and said the information about chip speeds and manufacturing processes was correct. Sun did not return repeated calls seeking confirmation of other documents, and Kunz was unable to confirm the release dates for the chips.

The documents also reveal that Sun plans to transition from its midrange UltraSPARC IIIi line to the UltraSPARC IVi line when the older chip reaches 1.4GHz. The UltraSPARC IVi will reach speeds of at least 1.6GHz, and follow-on chips in this series are planned to hit 3.0GHz.

Sun's entry-level line of chips, which include the UltraSPARC IIe, will also see speed bumps over the next few years. The chips will hit 1.1GHz with the current generation and then 2.0GHz and beyond with the next generation, the roadmaps show. Release dates were not available for those entry-level products.

they should try to make a USB one lol then EVERY1 would have it from the newbies to the pro !! and then MS would learn why they should have stayed on the PC (btw i love MS product like Windows and Office just not the xbox lol)

its so obvious that this is scotland (probably in glasgow) but it sucks tho coz M$ makes money from games only, so this might be what kills the xbox

#5 RaINE on 08 May 2002 - 22:21

#6 werejag on 08 May 2002 - 22:21

the xbox was dead on the drawing board.

#7 LiGhTfast on 08 May 2002 - 22:33

well im gonna but one now and so will millions of others, i know for a fact im gonna buy a few orginals, therefore ms are gonna be making money out of me they would never have got before... they dont understand games are too pricey for unemployed full time students...

OMG Xdrian...you=moron. 1st: You cannot get a decent used computer for $299 2nd: Xbox is going down to $199 in late May 3rd: XBOX IS THE SAME PRICE AS PS2!!!!

#8.1 Fonze on 09 May 2002 - 03:52

yea and not only that but the games are optomized for Direct X 8 Geforce 3!!! and 5.1 dolby digital/DTS! so while stupid PC game companys are adopting to gfx to acomidate for the user with a TNT2, the xbox game companys are useing full Geforce 3 gfx and on top of that they are all made for one hardware configuration which makes the games optomized for the setup!

nice..

#10 Ruciz on 09 May 2002 - 00:16

What I want to know is who sits around frying console's (I presume) for months to try to figure out how to chip them. I mean its great and all, the applications and features that will be programmed will be a plus. Its probably easier than Dreamcast to program where Xbox is running on a stripped down 2k console. but still, I wouldn't have the money or patience to figure anything like that out. If they would charge a fair bit for the system and $20-30 for every game, piracy wouldn't be. It would be cheaper to get the games you like as to pay $500 for a DVD burner, $15-20 per DVD-R and have to find/rent/crack the games then to go to a store and buy it. Props to the underworld for their defeat of multi-million dollar corperations with a little piece of plastic and some wire.

ps2 owns!!!!!! lol

#12 Osiris on 09 May 2002 - 02:10

Is this XBOX taking another price dip in Late may?

#13 Generation X on 09 May 2002 - 02:33

yay modchips rule! so does the xbox! hmm i always notice how stupid all the fights between people who favor ps2 and xbox. jesus christ just settle down and figure it out. theyre both great systems. why favour one when you can like both the same. i do! they both are great and have their own cool features and i must admit ps2 has some great games, but xbox does too and will have more in the future. that's why you get both if possible if you don't wanna decide on one. and if you can't have both i suggest not getting one and saving up for a good computer. don't fight and argue. it's stupid. and a waste of time. well all i can say is sweet shit about the modchip coming out and the price drop for the xbox and ps2 soon as well i think. go alaskan eskimos! lol only people who read some more stories about the modchip creators will get it.

#14 MaddogMDD on 09 May 2002 - 11:04

#13, I agree completely. My observations (probably obvious ones) are that PS2 has more games, and XBOX has more power. Quantity vs Quality. Both are good. I think sometimes people want to justify their $300 investment any way they can.

#15 o_87 on 09 May 2002 - 14:42

XBOX Rules! For three reasons: 1) It is the most technically advanced console, beating out GameCube and PS2 in specs 2) Microsfot baby! They got the money to beat out Sony. Plus they are backing the Xbox with a $500 million marketing campaign! Alos, they have been listening to consumers about what they want! For example the smaller controller, and the price suts in Europe 3)It is the only console with built-in ethernet capabilities adn harddrive. People will say that PS2 is coming out with a modem too, and a hardirve, ahh but what are they gonna cost? about $50 each...! Oh yeah, No you IDIOTS Xbox is not a computer! Xbox OWNZ!

#16 Sticktron on 09 May 2002 - 15:23

PS2 is nice, but its last generation.

A team called ProjectX has released around 23 iso games, people have questioned if they work on normal consoles and not the dev units. People have said that ProjectX is Echelon+Kalisto working together as a team. There’s even a video showing someone loading a burned Xbox game onto a normal unit and not a dev. -Hummm Free Games 199bucks better graphics then ps2 what a deal-

#17.1 dilmonen on 09 May 2002 - 16:15

Yeah, free games until MS quits the console biz. They lose on the console and make money on the games. No money on the games = no developers for the games = no XBox. I'm not saying I pay for everything, but I do pay for a lot.

#18 werejag on 09 May 2002 - 16:58

microsoft make a bulk of the money on the overprice development kits and overpriced games!!!!

#19 nekrosoft13 on 09 May 2002 - 18:17

xbox is the future ps2 is out of date

You idots, xbox is ganna flop just like the dreamcast, its gonna make a view more games and then. Microsoft is just gonna give up. the Gamecube on the other hand is gonna out rank the ps and the xbox 1. Nintendo is getting all its third party support back. 2. lots of first party games are getting remakes. 3. its gonna take atleast a year or 2 before there is a mod chip (if they figure one out), 4. nintedo isn,t gonna lose any money onlike xbox and ps2.

#21.1 underscorebios on 09 May 2002 - 23:14

lol but you forget quickly about what happened to nintendo's last projects

. Nintendo has it's own market segment (little kids) it's not going hard after mainstream console gaming like the xbox and ps2 although they seem to be trying harder this time with the likes of resident evil but mainly the games are for kids, as for consoles no one can even be dum enough to dispute that the most powerfull gaming platform is the xbox and sony only beats ms due to it's enormous game and console base but when it comes to value for hardware the xbox beats all the others out there

#22 NTUsEr on 09 May 2002 - 23:39

first off, all consoles are going to be dead later in life, cause of PCs, but any who, its he person who makes the console, its the personal view of the buyer, soo ps2 xbox GC suck! ps2 xbox GC rules! I have all 3

#23 werejag on 10 May 2002 - 01:00

xbox will only survive as a "hacked console"!!!!

(1 reply) #24 jayp6969 on 10 May 2002 - 02:21

ps2 all the way, is their a ps2 boot disk????

#24.1 underscorebios on 10 May 2002 - 17:24

it puzzles me why you feel the need to post about the ps2 in a news piece intitled "XBOX..." And the only "bootdisk" for consoles out there is for the dc as far as i know.

#25 o_87 on 10 May 2002 - 23:46

iCe, 1. Th e 'support' that you say the Nintendo is getting, is only by Square...

2. Yes, they are getting remakes, BUT hwo long are you gonna have to wait? a year, two years?

3. There is already a modchip out for GameCube, however it is only available in Hong Kong, and it was out the first week GameCube released! How it works is that it uses the expansion port at the back of the GameCube and uses a normal dvd drive!

4. Yes, Nintendo isn't gonna lose money, because they dont even have plans for Online yet!
