TITLE: One-Million Programmable Gates for Under $25

Xilinx is shipping the world's  first  90-nanometer  programmable
chips  which  are  manufactured by both IBM and UMC.  The smaller
device geometries enable more transistors in a smaller  area  and
hence  have  reduced die size by 80 percent compared to competing
130nm programmable solutions. Moreover, pricing has been  reduced
to  below  $25  for a one-million-gate FPGA (approximately 17,000
logic cells), which represents a 35-70 percent  savings  compared
to any competitive offering.
