Sun, on their Q3 earnings call, said that the MAJC processor has taped out. Taped out is a term for: The design of a processor is complete.

Advanced technologies such as interactive TV, digital telephony, 3-D animation, and virtual reality simulations will converge on the digital network and be powered by MAJC-based microprocessors. The architecture is scalable and designed for a wide range of consumer and industrial products, from screen phones and game platforms, to medical imaging systems and network edge devices.

This is a slide show which describes the architecture of the MAJC 5200:
