The online technology website The Register speculated that this chip would be named "T4", being the successor to the SPARC T3.[5] The Yosemite Falls CPU product remained on Oracle Corporation's processor roadmap after the company took over Sun in early 2010.[6] In December 2010 the T4 processor was confirmed by Oracle's VP of hardware development to be designed for improved per-thread performance, with eight cores, and with an expected release within one year.[8] UltraSPARC T2 and T3's per-core cryptographic coprocessors were replaced with in-core accelerators and instruction-based cryptography.The implementation is designed to achieve wire speed encryption and decryption on the SPARC T4's 10-Gbit/s Ethernet ports.
