Xilinx pricing gone crazy

Post by **terriblefire** » 08 May 2020 18:26

I can make 120 chips available at £30 a chip. Unfortunately thats the best i can do. let me know if this is something you guys want to happen. I *really* dont want to do this but i will in order to get the TF boards out.

I have small stock of almost all xc95 xilinx chips, so "bare" board(s) work for me, but this is probably a question to the solderers who will make your boards for the masses:) who cares about the price of a single chip when your work opens 060 for the community.

Its better than having to buy a tray of 60 of them, that's for sure :D

The other versions were still at >$90. I'm all for the cheaper more powerful Lattice FPGA for future boards, still think the XC95288XL is a little high comparatively. Will the TF1260 use any XC95288XLs at this point? Should we stock up while DigiKey has them at $22.95 again?

Ha! That is VERY interesting that they lowered the price again. Something very fishy is going on.

I have about 15x of the 288s stocked up at home and will most likely buy them from UTSource from now on. I will be definitely voting with my wallet here. By and large, digikey has lost me as a customer because of this crap.

Just checked DigiKey for 95144XL's - these are also back to it's normal price - about 11€ +VAT
I think it was caused by COVID - nothing was produced thru this period, so they screwed up the price..

I have it on good authority that Victor Peng personally monitors this forum and sets the price accordingly.... :D

Crazy volatility with these parts just now. Mouser are still looking for over £70...
