The one at the bottom of the rack? ;-)

I guess the standard Cisco answer to low latency would be the
cut-through switching Nexus platform. Nexus 5000 would probably fit the
description. The 4900 is (AFAIK) store-and-forward and thus has slightly
higher forwarding latency.

Beware that the latency differences are quite small and most peoply have
no need to the lower.
