This will give the machines a 22 percent boost in performance, according to Sun.Sun bills the V480 as a low-cost, entry-level system designed to compete against Intel-based systems from competitors such as Dell and IBM. It is the last of the Sun Fire servers to be upgraded to Sun’s 1.05GHz chip, a process that began a year ago when Sun began incorporating the chip into its high-end systems. Pricing for the V480 will remain unchanged. A dual-processor machine with 4GB of memory will list for just under $20,000. A four-way, 16GB machine costs $43,000.
