which is the fast SPARC or Intel ? and why?

Answer Posted / christo

Intel and Sparc have different architectures. One uses
Little Endian and the other Big Endian Architecture. This is
the way the order of bytes are arranged. When we compare
the from a cost to performance perspective Intel Platforms
would give us better performance. if you plan to move Files
systems / Raw data over these architectures you will have to
byte swap them. Not required on a OS level because the
Solaris VFS takes care of it.
