[HH] FPGAs price competitive with ASICs?

[Kurt L Keville]

I am always amazed when I see what kid of FPGA you can get from a Kickstarter
project. Parallella has a Xilinx Zyng-7000 on it and Parallella only costs $99
(as compared to the $349 deep academic discount of a Zedboard).

Now there is Logi-Bone... a Spartan 6 shield for $69? How in the name of Sam
Hill are they doing that? Volume? I doubt it...
