Oh, yes. That is what we need for our next generation Open Source "OMAP" chip!

Well, $400k for 3D looks a little difficult to achieve, and 2D only can be done 
by any standard CPU quite quickly?

Well, by their open source nature it can be changed (by anyone experienced 
enough and having access to work with Verilog).

The main fear I have is that there is not enough funding because nobody can 
really use it in daily
work without investing another lots of money (to integrate the FPGA with 
something).
