New FPGA technology nodes roll out in an orderly sequence.  First, there is the secret "speculation" stage when hush-hush design secrets are locked in the lab.  Then, there is the "technology preview" stage when some limited details are leaked to the world.

Today's question asks when you will start looking at 65nm FPGAs for your design projects.
