I am sorry that you did not get a quote from any distributor. I usually stay out of such issues, but here is some help: Single quantity LX15 in SF363 package used to be around $ 125 LX 25 was around $ 200. For reasonable quantities and a few months out, I think the price will be half those numbers. For really large quantitities and even further out it might be cut in half again. Just my guess, based on a few decades of experience... This is a public newsgroup, and I don't want to contradict our marketing and sales folks. Peter Alfke

Peter, First, thank for very much for the answer. Yeah, I understand that giving V4 1-2 more years on the market will result in something like 20%-30% or more price reduction and yet giving birth to Spartan-4-like family of cost-reducted V4 FPGAs, but... we need them yesterday :o() as always Anyway, thanks again, appreciate it a lot.

Going by what I see your company makes then you could have a serious volume. As Peter has said the cost will come down in time but it also worth talking now to your distributor, or if you are large enough, your direct Xilinx representative. The newsgroup is not the place for these kinds of negotiations but picking up the telephone to the appropriate person could be well worth while. And as general hint for such a conversation have a projected usage plan ready. It is the first or second thing they will ask you. John Adair Enterpoint Ltd. - Home of Broaddown2.

John, The company I work in does not produce 100,000+ volumes on the yearly basis. Also, I never intend to negotiate here, but I just wanted to get the APPROXIMATE range of the price while considering FPGA device(s) for the next project(s). Funny thing, I have been waiting for the quotation for 4 weeks, but as i posted this one, the next day i got it in my e-mail... Strange... But thanks for your hints.
