Sun Microsystems and Fujitsu engineers on Tuesday promised significant performance increases with two next-generation chips, models that they hope will help keep the Sparc line relevant. Company representatives speaking at the Fall Processor Forum promised significant gains over the chips' predecessors - the first Niagara (now called UltraSparc T1) and the single-core Sparc64 V.

I'd say that Sun will be using their own interconnect, with the SPARC VI sitting ontop; its their CPU that is crap, not the processor itself.
I thought both Sun and Fujitsu will co-marketing the Sparc64 VI in the APL systems developed by Fujitsu. The only difference probably will be the badges and possibly the colour of the plastic.
