SPARCstation 20

The SPARCstation 20 (code-named Kodiak) is a workstation made by Sun Microsystems. The SPARCstation 20 was released on March 29, 1994, alongside the lower-end SPARCstation 5. The SPARCstation 20 shipped with dual SuperSPARC or hyperSPARC CPUs, supporting up to four such CPUs all running in parallel. It sold for between US$12,195 at the low end to US$29,995 at the high end (equivalent to $39,078–122,538 in 2025). Sun superseded the SPARCstation line in November 1995 with the Ultra series, which featured UltraSPARC processors.
