Hardware Description

Fujitsu’s PRIMEPOWER series of UNIX servers replaced the FUJITSU GP7000F series, which used the SPARC 64-GP*1 64-bit RISC*2 processor. Fujitsu announced the PRIMEPOWER series in May 2000 as its new global UNIX server brand. The first models — the FUJITSU PRIMEPOWER 800/1000/2000 — inherited technology from the FUJITSU GP7000F 2000 (announced in July 1999) while adding the following performance and scalability improvements.
