Assessment: SPARC T5 Systems Installation and Maintenance (Answer all questions in this section) 1. Which of the statements related to the SPARC T5 CPU are correct? Check all that apply. Mark for Review (1) Points

(Choose all correct answers) The seven coherency links are how the T5 (and M5) are able to talk with 7 other CPUs directly, with no hub. (*) The T5 has the same number of MCUs as the T4.
