SPARC is a processor architecture. There are 32 bit (SPARC V8) and 64 bit versions (SPARC V9). V9 has been introduced 1995 with the UltraSPARC I, a processor implementing that architecture. Today V8 is only relevant in embedded devices.
x86 (also called i386) is another processor architecture. The Pentium is one example for an implementation of that architecture. (different architectures have different instructions, ways to communicate with the memory, and so on) Last edited by fabtagon; 07-09-2008 at 10:24 AM.. Reason: minor |
