Which I very much expect to drop as production ramps up and competitors enter the market. I don't think Cypress have much competition for now, so the demand for the chips is probably near the start of the bell curve => they can afford to keep low volume and high prices. > Plus, the circuit board and connector tolerances are a > LOT less forgiving at 5 GHz than they are at 480 MHz. That's a good point. But then manufacturing technology follows the trend of the moment too. Maybe I should have added an "eventually" to my statement I was making, because this is what I intended to convey. I certainly don't expect someone to pop up tomorrow and start selling FX3 based boards for $27 a piece. In 2-3 years time however, I sure hope it'll be a different story.
