XILINX XC9572XL CPLD estimated mining performance?

[Drewbert]

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.

[Drewbert]

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?

[Dexter770221]

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.

[Drewbert]

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.
