The fact is that Oracle is Growing Sun
“Oracle plans to spend more money developing Solaris than Sun does now.”
“x86 is of course a key element of both Sun and Oracle‟s software portfolio, with Solaris and Oracle Enterprise Linux as well as all of the software of both companies robustly sold and supported in the x86 marketplace.”

The Forrester link below provides insight for those who still question the future of SPARC @ Oracle.
http://blogs.forrester.com/richard_fichera/10-07-28-does_sparc_have_future
These are the best two statements:
"Oracle presented a convincing roadmap for future SPARC products oriented around a common set of cores with products differentiated by number of cores, pipelines per core and cache architecture. The core designs seemed to emphasize “mainstream” CPU technology
rather than some of the esoteric concepts attempted with Rock, and our confidence that they can execute is high. The net result is a roadmap that seems to offer the prospect of, if not leap-frogging Intel and AMD, of at least staying competitive with them on a performance
basis."
"Along with the CPU roadmap was an outline of a systems strategy that appears to offer SPARC/Solaris customers a high likelihood of staying competitive on system performance and
design"

Sun and OracleSPARC64 Servers - M-Series
• Sun and Fujitsu have brought three generations of the SPARC64 processor architecture to market to date via the Sun SPARC Enterprise Servers
• A fourth generation processor is on the roadmap in next 12-15 months
• We continue to work with Fujitsu on how the two companies will design systems past that point
Sun and OracleUltraSPARC Servers - T-Series
• In the 2H 2010 we plan to release the 3rd generation UltraSPARC T3 processor and systems
• UltraSPARC T3 will double the number of processor cores to 16
• We are also aiming to focus on bringing systems to market that scale beyond the current maximum of 4-sockets
• We'll will bring to market new Sun x86 servers using the Intel processor architecture only, and have no plans to develop any new servers with AMD processors, including Magny Cours
• We plan to focus efforts on developing solutions that will run enterprise workloads, so x864-socket and 8-socket platforms are areas where we can expect to development occurring
• The current X4100 and X4200 series systems are key components of Exadata offering and so we will continue to invest in this product set
• The 2200 series is very much in Sun’s High Performance Computing (HPC) space and so we will continue to innovate around this product set
• We also see the opportunity for Flash technology to help optimize the platforms and so this will be a development focus area as well
• We will focus our x86 operating system innovation around Solaris and Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL)
• We are still committed to heterogeneous environments and will continue to support the use of, and certify, other versions of Linux
• We will also support Windows and VMware on those platforms
Sun and OracleX86 Servers - X-Series
• Blades> Blades will continue to be a platform focus area
for Oracle
> The main focus being on x86 and T-series blades – New X and T-Series blades coming
• Telco Netra> We remain committed to the Telco space with its
separately branded Netra range of servers.
> Again, the focus being on the UltraSPARC T-series and x86 solution
Sun and OracleBlade and Netra Servers
• 6000 Series : we are continuing to work with LSI and thus will continue to develop the 6000 Series
• 7000 Series : a key focus area for Oracle will be the 7000 Series open storage, or unified, platform, which supports direct attached storage (DAS), network attached storage (NAS) and storage area network (SAN) configurations
