What is Suns strategy to manufacture CMT-based processors?
As it has over the past 17 years, Sun continues to partner very closely with Texas Instruments (TI) to manufacture its industry-leading UltraSPARC processors. While Sun focuses on its core competency of microprocessor design, it relies on TI for its world-class semiconductor manufacturing. This fabless model also helps Sun to avoid the huge expense of building and maintaining a leading-edge fab every few years. The Sun/TI partnership is a non-competitive, mutually-beneficial relationship that truly works!
