CNETAnalysis: Oracle has added two more models to its SPARC server line in the form of the T5 and M5, and made an ambitious claim that the former is based on the world’s fastest microprocessor. The company claims that the SPARC T5 servers, the midrange model in the family, have already set 17 world records for performance.
