mike, hey, bilow, an opinion i respect, said that his company was gladly switching from altr to xlnx due to xlnx's new product line - even though it was a costly switch. in that vein, maybe altr is a better downside candidate as they may be losing market share in aweak environment. in addition, altr is right up near its 52 week high...

>>I just took a good look at the latest XLNX Virtex parts for the first time. They are so
much better than ALTR that there really isn't a comparison. The place I'm consulting at
has been an ALTR house for about 5 years, and today they are switching over. This is
being done in the face of having to switch tool sets and everything. The basic problem
with ALTR is that the new 10KE parts are mostly vapor-ware, and are much slower
and smaller than the parts XLNX is already shipping. The decision to switch wasn't hard
to make.<<
mike, btw, i expect more out of frank cappiello than that, too. |
