BANGALORE: Sun Microsystems has announced the release of the energy efficient processor UltraSPARC T1.

The processor, - codenamed `Niagara', uses eight cores, each with four threads - so a total of 32 threads work simultaneously. This means that more processing tasks can be performed in parallel.

The 90-nm chip also has four memory controllers which route data between the processing cores and the memory, allowing data to be transferred into the chip as fast as it can be processed.

The UltraSPARC T1 also generates less heat and uses less than 70 watts of power.
