Short answer, absolutely not.
The Virtex Ultrascale+ FPGA boards are $10,000 AND UP.
If you look up why Mister will not move up to more powerful FPGA chips, this is why.
Would it be cool? Yes. Definitely.
They might be able to do what Taki did and source the components they’re looking for directly from the manufacturer rather than using existing boards.
I do think this is a big stretch, but things in this market are starting to change.
Is it a scam?
Also yes, definitely.
