#3Comparison to the one in MiSTer?
MiSTer is about 110K , this can go up to 218K. Probably this new FPGA is something like BGA package, since it has over 500 I/O pins. Also not available this year: "AMD Spartan UltraScale+ samples and evaluation kits are expected to be available for sampling and evaluation in the first half of 2025."

#4Interesting product. It seems they ported some feature from the Versal family, like the hard LPDDR controller and the new XP5IO, so not just a cut down version of the bigger Artix

#5Keen to see how this impacts emulator development.

Stuff with a lot of simultaneous i/o that needs to be processed simultaneously, is one answer.

They enable a lot of crazy defence products.
A well known german product for example is the Iris-T from Diehl Defence. Highly accurate and exceptional engineering. But I guess FPGAs are in most defence products nowadays. I think the biggest reason is that you can build/verify your own hardware without having to go through the expensive ASIC manufacturing
Edit: I just realized that these are some literal killer apps. That wasn't even intentional, lol.

- ASIC emulation and prototyping
- High-frequency trading (executed in-fabric)
- Niche real-time video devices, etc.
- Cryptocurrency mining
- Real-time motor pulse generation for robotics
- Custom NICs and HPC devices
- RF signals processing (radar, guidance, etc.)
