 IBM and Xilinx prepare for production of first 90nm chips on 300mm wafers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Xilinx's investment in 90nm manufacturing technology will enable the company to drive pricing down to under $25 for a one-million-gate FPGA (approximately 17,000 logic cells)* which represents a savings of 35 to 70 percent compared to any competitive offering.
Xilinx, one of the pioneers of the fabless semiconductor business model more than 18 years ago, continues to head the race to advanced manufacturing processes and has established an impressive track record of industry firsts — including first to 150nm in 2001 and first to 130nm in 2002.
Due to the regular structure and re-programmability of Xilinx devices, defects can be more easily identified and isolated during manufacturing than with traditional, fixed semiconductor device architectures, making them an ideal process driver for a volume manufacturer such as IBM.

 Fliptronics: FPGA Floorplanning
Floorplanning is the process of identifying structures that should be placed close together, and allocating space for them in such a manner as to meet the sometimes conflicting goals of available space (cost of the chip), required performance, and the desire to have everything close to everything else.
Within the Xilinx chips it is often the case that the smallest area design is also the highest performance design.
The Xilinx FPGAs are biased to have data flow along horizontal interconnect, and to have arithmetic functions operate in vertical columns.
