Apollo Team announces the Vampire V4

Given that the vampire v3 is said to be faster than a 68060 at 100Mhz, what can we expect from the V4?

And what about the those IO headers, what are they capable of. Could they be used as some kind of expansion port?

I've been browsing the altera productpages to figure out the speed difference between the FPGS series II and V. It was stated that the Cyclone V was 4000 MIPS, but I could not find a speed comparisation between the Cyclone III and V.

I did find it interesting though that on the Cyclone V development board there was specified 1GB RAM and and also PCIe x4 available.
May this be a possible expansion in a later Vampire revision, or perhaps they will move to Cyclone 10 at some point?

I was looking forward to following this thread, hoping that it could be a refreshing discussion about this new hardware and its current and possible features.
Instead it turned into what seems like an endless rant about its shortcomings and what it probably can't do at the moment (missing FPU etc), and even personal critisism of development team members.

Considering the years of non existent or very expensive hardware for the classic amiga, I can so far only manage to see the positive sides of the vampire series.
