from The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (8 July 2008)

HyperSPARC

   <processor> The successor to the {SuperSPARC} processor, based
   on the {SPARC} {ISA}.  The HyperSPARC has smaller {caches}
   than the {SuperSPARC}: 8kb on-chip and 256kb off-chip
   (compared with 36kb and 1Mb).  The HyperSPARC's {memory
   management} is optimised for more efficient out-of-cache
   addressing which means quicker access to external (slower,
   cheaper) memory.
