"Under the terms of the new deal, Sun and Fujitsu will help curb R&D expenses by collaborating on technology development. They'll merge Sun's Sun Fire and Fujitsu's Primepower lines, respectively, to create a new family called Advanced Product Line (or APL)."

EDIT: This taken from the Yahoo post

"The above link is to the PRIMEPOWER page on Fujitsu's site. With SUN moving away from SPARC and toward Opteron, and PRIMEPOWER being all SPARC - this is a huge shift in Opteron placement. If the Sunfire V20z is going to be sold by Fujitsu in their PRIMEPOWER line, another level of cachet has been added to the Brand (and corporate acceptance)."


EDIT: All we need now is SUN-Fujitsu to merge with AMD
