What were the strong points of the SPARC CPU design?

RE: What were the strong points of the SPARC CPU design?
SPARC always has had extremely parallel workloads that focus on high thread counts. Tbh anything before Fujitsu's SPARC64X is not really competitive for GP.

I have a SPARCVIII Fujitsu at my friend's server farm and it does decently well. Think performance of a decent Nehalem.

Technical problems should be sent my way.
