	Stratix II - Altera unveils new 90nm architecture
		Altera actually moved to 300mm wafers at 130nm, so the gains here are strictly from the new process and geometry.
		Altera claims that Stratix II offers 50 percent higher performance, double the logic density, and 40% lower cost than their highly successful Stratix family.
		Altera’s ALM approach appears to help in all these areas, allowing the benefits of the new process node to come through without so many of the usual drawbacks.
