Ivo Bolsens of Xilinx and Crossover DesignsSemiWiki - Daniel NenniApr. 28, 2011 |

Ivo started off talking analogizing SoCs as the sports-cars of the industry (fast but expensive), and FPGAs as the station wagons (not cool). In fact he even said that when Xilinx started an FPGA was a pretty silly idea.
