Seen this?

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.

Eric
