According to EE Times, June 29 issue, page 13, in Apollo article:

	"... Sun Microsystems Inc. will headline a show all its own in
	New York on July 8.  The solo performer is Project Sunrise, a
	10-Mips workstation that uses a proprietary reduced-instruction
	set computer (RISC) design implemented in a 20,000-gate CPU
	produced by Fujitsu."
