Message: [QUOTE="newageretrohippie, post: 25118, member: 72847"] Yeah, its weird for intel right now tho... to say they have had a bad couple of years is an understatement.. i think they just dont understand how the fpga market is changing.. it was a game they just bought into in the past decade... traditionally, fpgas were used to: a) teach logic design to college students (which was the purpose of de10 nano used in the mister) b) specific industrial applications which require precise timing and tons of parallel i/o (things like digital signage or pro audio equipment), or c) in the design of a vlsi/asic--so basically you design an asic for a very specific application at low clock speeds using an fpga, and then you "bake" the finshed design to the finished asic which can run at ghz speeds and be inexpensive to manufacture in bulk. (NES system-on-a-chip or bitcoin miners are well known examples) ... but then tons of people started gaming directly on fpga sample boards over the past 5 years, and intel just hasnt embraced this new market at all... if they lowered the price of the de10 nano to 100 dollars, they would sell 10s of thousands of units... they just dont get it ... i gotta say they DO seem to be on the right track with their newest arc gpu line right now... it looks like the return of the mid tier sub-$250 gpu, which is awesome (especially in light of the rumored nvidia 5080 and 5090 prices which are just absurd) [automerge]1735703575[/automerge] Yeah i got 3 of them for $120, but all 3 were stolen in 2022 (bad timing... i dont even have one, now) [/QUOTE]
