Well, the price on the cheapest version of the Kintex 325 is north of $500 in small quantities... but in high volume, much much lower.  I daren't say how low.   And for those wanting an engineering sample of the XC7V2000T, my answer is "Sure!".    As long as you work for Cisco!    Tier 1 customers will get whatever they want!  

Seriously, the XC7V2000T is not a cost effective part for bitcoin mining.   It's really targeted for ASIC emulation.

Data sheets & user guides for the Kintex are all on the xilinx.com website.  There is a PCIe demo board for the Kintex 325 (KC705), but it won't be publicly available for a few more months.

regards to all,
