It's not a SPARC, it's an ARC. It's a very different processor.

The earlier ME versions used an ARC. The later ones use a SPARC.

ARC not was a simplified SPARC for CPU architecture teaching ? I had to build it on VHDL on my first year.

Well I have no idea how ARC came into existence, but looking at the ISA, it has nothing in common with SPARC (I write SPARC compilers for a living, so I know the ISA pretty well).

I don't know the full story it was a spin-off of the work that Argonaut did for the SuperFX chip in Star Fox on the SNES -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARC_%28processor%29
