OK to clarify:
1. I was only talking about Sun systems, which have never shipped Atom
or ARM-based units.

2. I was unaware that OOE is not found on even newer CPUs; I thought
that USIII and anything later had OOE.  My mistake (as I said in an
earlier post on this thread).

I think there is a distinction that would not have to be stated when we
are talking about workstation and high-end server systems vs. embedded
CPUs designed for power efficiency....
