Message: [QUOTE="newageretrohippie, post: 43118, member: 72847"] how can fpga cost choice in general computing? it just adds more choice (a lot more choice). Especially if you learn to program one... x86 isnt going anywhere. It would be physically impossible to replace a modern x86 with an fpga, i think. as for RISC V, i dont think that will put a huge dent in either the x86 or the arm markets... it is just nice to have a 3rd option for a modern microprocessor... especially one that is completely open architecture. Such a thing is unprecedented! [automerge]1737228962[/automerge] man, in the USA the current list price for DE10 nano is $220-$230 from a reputable supplier house. (the scalper market will milk fools for $300 to $600) So, if you can get one in sweden for 120, its a pretty good investment considering how many cores are available. (you would have to spend hundreds of thousands $$$ to acquire all that OG hardware, not to mention software) ... 3+ years ago intel sold the DE10 nano board directly on amazon for $120 in the US. That was the price for several years and it was considered to be quite a bargain, in the beginning (about 10 years ago.) The reason Sorge choose the DE10 nano platform for MiSTer was the incredible value. At that time, it would have cost maybe $400 to manufacture your own DE10 nano, and Terasic/intel were selling them at a loss to promote the Cyclone V platform to college students. Now, of course, you can manufacture a DE10 Nano for under a hundred dollars even in low quantities (Taki Udon proved this with "Mister Pi" which was 6000 units produced in a two run deal). its really a FOMO shame that the market isnt saturated with these things by now.
