Cheaper, More Powerful Alternative To FPGAs

holy_calamity writes "Technology Review takes a look at a competitor to FPGAs claimed to be significantly faster and cheaper. Startup Tabula recently picked up another $108m in funding and says their chips make it economic to ship products with reconfigurable hardware, enabling novel upgrade strategies that include hardware as well as software."

Amazing use of factors

For those of you who missed TFA, here is a juicy tidbit:

Teig estimates that the footprint of a Tabula chip is less than a third of an equivalent FPGA, making it five times cheaper to make, while providing more than double the density of logic and roughly four times the performance.

That is 6X more impressive than any other use of factors in a sentence... ever.
