I heard rumours XILINX will announce Virtex-3 later this year, but a VIRTEX-3 PRO is not planned. Will FPGAs with integrated Processors share the destiny of the X6200 series ?______________________________
Manfred, be assured that Xilinx will announce a new Virtex family this year, and be also assured that the family will include MGTs and PPC microprocessors. Don't worry about the exact family names, that's a marketing issue. The best stuff is still to come !

If you want an idea of what it might have go search the patent office.....

The local Xilinx guys told me that they are donig exactly that, calling the next family Virtex4 instead of 3 so that it will match the Spartan numbers.
