| As a derivative of the OpenSPARC T1, the S1 retains the ability to execute
| four concurrent threads at the same time; and operating systems support for
| OpenSolaris and GNU/Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu and Gentoo, which
| will detect four different CPUs even if on the chip the CPU core is only
| one.
