I doubt that the SPARC line will be endangered until there's an opteron
server as large as the 25K or the PRIMEpower2500. I don't doubt they're
planning something along those lines, but they're probably working
harder on getting the SPARC64 into a Sun designed machine. 

They could have named the Ultra20 something different though; not only
was there one previously, but all Ultra's have UltraSPARCs. What was
wrong with something like "the Optimum 20" ?
