So they say.

"The speed and rate of innovation has increased from the Sun days, not just Sun processor deliveries but the timeliness of those deliveries to market, and meeting and beating the performance forecast," he told me. Choy said Oracle has doubled performance with each subsequent generation of processor.

I still have my SPARCstation 1+ somewhere in the closet collecting dust.

Cant recall knowing anyone that bought SPARC for ages.

Must be some hobby project for Ellison.

Prior to the acquisition, Sun Microsystems reported revenues of $12 billion and $9 billion in calendar years 2008 and 2009, from the sale and service of its hardware products. Post acquisition, Oracle reported related revenues of about $7 billion, $6 billion and $5 billion in CY2011, CY2012 and CY2013 respectively.

A wild guess, 4B$ for 2014?
