AFAIK, the sparc architecture is just a specification. Since sparc architecture was made open source everybody can make is own SPARC processor.

Very interesting as SPARC processor is far away beyond X86 processors: 64bits for more than 10 years,the last I've seen had 8 cores with 4 threads witch means 32 simulatenous tasks...

The SPARC architecture has been open for over a decade. This is a specific implimentation of that architecture, the most advanced one to date from Sun. And the 8 cores w/ 4 threads is the T1. The T2 doubled the number of simultaneous threads, giving you 64 simultaneous threaded tasks.
