"Another innovation is the use of differential current mode logic." Insert roll-eyes. This isn't innovation, it's bog-standard engineering trade-off, trading 50% density for an incremental gain in speed. I wouldn't mind that however.<p>I certainly wish them well and after 19 years it would be about time for a post-mortem. There's far to little innovation in FPGAs; Xlinx is more forcus now on hooking accelerators together and Intel has practically done nothing since they acquired Altera. Lattice Semi work on power efficiency is great, but they are still very slow.
"We reinvented ECL" in a press release. <eye roll><p>Folks, the IBM Journal of Research and Development from inception to 1970 is required reading.<p>If you don't do that, don't be surprised when the greybeards laugh at you.
