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.8 b0 \% |' M0 ^* z5 |

Now, with 65nm, we are at the third stage - "announcement" where the details are divulged, but the devices are not yet available in volume.

Typically we next get samples and development systems, followed finally by volume production availability - usually at about the time the next round is being announced.& k$ Z4 i* m( y
