Seen this?

http://www.xilinx.com/products/v6s6.htm

Looks like a bit of a snoozefest. New pre-adder on V6 DSP48. Spartan6 
has DSP48A (like Spartan3A-DSP) and new hard macros for DDR memory 
control and PCI-E endpoint. Spartan still available in 144-pin flatpack 
for 2 smallest members. Using 40nm process, so density is up a bit too.

Basically just shuffling the furniture around. Lots of new marketing 
terminology: "Targeted Design Platforms" basically means "Look at all 
the IP cores we can shovel at you!"

Now just waiting for price & availability.
