Title: XILINX XC9572XL CPLD estimated mining performance?
Post by: Drewbert on March 29, 2013, 02:16:12 AM

Could someone please humour me by taking a look at the specs for the XC9572XL (-10TQ100C) and estimating the mining performance it could provide?

None. You will not fit even single rolled core.

Excellent. Thanks for taking the time to check for me.

If you could show me the maths, that would be nice as I might learn something, for a change.

How about a EP2C5T144 Altera Cyclone II ? Suitable for mining?

Anythng below Cyclone III or Spartan3 is not worth to look at. And those are oldies, so expect very poor performance (like 1MH/s). Best performance/price ratio have Spartan6 LX150. Next gen Atrix7 will propably have even better and those are what is worth to look ATM.

OK. Thanks.

I was hoping it would be worthwhile, as you can get them fairly cheaply on a board from DX.com

Back to the drawing board. :)
