Is JRockit merged into JDK 8?

There are many articles/webpages stating that JRockit will be merged into new version of JVM or JDK 8:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JRockit

http://www.mythics.com/about/blog/answers-to-common-questions-on-java-versions-editions

Where to download JRockit for Java 7?

But I cannot find any articles/webpages stating that JRockit is really merged into JDK 8. Is there are any updated news for that? Or there is only part of the features of JRockit is implemented in JDK 8 so that the real-time performance of JDK 8 is not as good as JRockit? Thanks!

From JDK 7 itself, JRockit and HotSpot has been merged into single JVM, incorporating the best features from both.
