This is something as a post it to my set of messages about uploading  
technology.
 
Xilinx has started to roll out a new FPGA generation, the Virtex 5 familly.  
These are the first chips with 65 nm technology, it seems FPGAs are now a step 
 in advance if we look at "ordinary" microprocessors from Intel or AMD.
 
The largest CMOS imaging chip on the market has 16 millions pixels, the  

retina has 120 millions sensitive cells. Biology seems so only 3 generations  
from 
current electronics devices.
