I saw this Crystal Board project on KickStarter. It features Quad-core 1.8Ghz , MCU and also FPGA. More details in their campaign here: http://kck.st/1d83nda.

Atmel also mentioned about it: http://atmelcorporation.wordpress.com/2013/12/10/atmelfpgaarm-soc-crystal-board/

Their price is relative low compared to the specification but is it worth buying?

 

I think it's totally worth the price. Wether or not one should buy it depends on his goals. It would be overkill for many projects.

 

Same thought. But it seems this project is quite struggling these days. Anyone here backed this project yet?

 

hmm i'm more interested in that robotics hand
