In the address Larry Ellison said “We want to take I.B.M. on in their strongest suit, microprocessors,” he said at Sunday’s opening of his OracleWorld trade show. The benchmark would be pure processing speed, he said, claiming that his new SPARC t4 chips are already faster than I.B.M. in running Java software. “We passed them in Java,” he said, “we’re going to pass them in every other area too.”
“The idea of engineering the hardware and the software (together) should give us better performance, better ease of use, and lower cost,” Mr. Ellison said, adding that the ultimate goal “is higher performance than I.B.M.’s fastest computer.” He took time to thank the Sun engineers for their work on chips, and indicated that he would be investing heavily to keep a competitive edge.
