This project is NOT the IBM Advanced Workstation.
There is a totally separate project that is not based on the IBM PC.
While it is not likely that the PC based machine will be marketed,
there is a rumor that a production line for the Advanced Workstation
has been built.  Unless IBM changes its mind (which may happen)
the Advanced Workstation will, eventually, be an official product.

More rumors welcome !
