Ehhhh the MAJC 5200 was generally available in 1999 and I am sure even older designs could be found if we were to dig deep enough. Their market share would also need some digging too.

To quote the announcement: "two VLIW (very long instruction word) microprocessors on a single piece of silicon"

Power and PA-RISC shipped servers, though. MAJC on the other hand

> Sun built a single model of the MAJC, the two-core MAJC 5200, which was the heart of Sun's XVR-1000 and XVR-4000 workstation graphics boards.
