As concrete (and heavily productized!) examples of embedded SPARC, it would be useful if we could dig up more information on the Infrant Technologies' IT3103 and IT3107 LEON2-based SPARC processors used in the Infrant (later NetGear) ReadyNAS NV1 boxes starting from 2005; eg configured on-chip cache sizes, process-node/die-size, power (W), no. I/O pins. We can surmise some details from the non-configurable parts of LEON2 (ie: threads/cores, arch. version) and some from the press releases and historical product brochures (ie: year 2005).

Open and Royalty free
The Template:Infobox CPU architecture currently says the instruction set is "open" and "royalty free".
- royalty free means, that – in contrast to the x86 or the ARM instruction set – anybody is free to implement an own microarchitecture base on it. Am I correct?
- what does "open" mean? User:ScotXWt@lk 10:14, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
