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.....
