So how do we get motion? 100 for each card to be manufactured is not a bad price point, if it's real. Can anyone get 50,000 pre-orders though? I know, depending on the markup, I want one. If they keep it real close to the manufacturer cost, I'll take two.

are you joking!

Do you really think thats a new PPC card will costs 100 Eur each? (to the "customers")

My estimate price for a small batch would be around 1000Eur each (if we are lucky)

That'd still be quite cheap IMO.

Considering the probably low production runs the final product traget price would be high, too.

This is the reason why there are no new ppc accelerators.

if i got it right .... 50KEur is to design and to product a working prototype ... am i right?

anyway about 1000 Eur was the price of the last batch of CSPPC with 060 produced by DCE so, hardly it would be less than that.

"Also, since I've watched couple of these hw projects from the sidelines I have some idea of the effort and money involved."

absolutely! the whole PowerUP project is (IMHO) unique in its genre and deserves it.
