The late-90s project I'm thinking of was called picoJava. Apparently it lives on in some form.

Thank you for your references. I remember that a lot of people complained about Java is too slow since it's an interpret language, as apposed to compilation language like C/C++ which executes the machine code fast. So a hardware JVM interpreter makes a lot more sense.

Somehow, Sun aborted that plan, but the JIT became farter now. But I still don't get it why it has anything to do the AMD's new APU?
