That particular chip has fewer logic slices than the 4000, although it does have these "DSP blocks" (which are basically just generalized math blocks). Let's see if we can figure out how OGD1 and this board differ so we can emphasize the advantages of OGD1. Of course, that's only important for people who aren't FOSS enthusiasts. For those who are, they will buy an OGD1 because it's a fund raiser. :)
