Sorry to do the double-post but here are some numbers from the Cyclone V series FPGAs:

5CGXBC7D6F31C7 (Grade 7): 215.84 219.93 MHz

I'm liking this device family already.  As always, more to come.

P.S. This design does not "take up too many IOs", taking up too many IOs assumes you don't use some sort of serialization, which is rather absurd.

P.P.S. When compiled for the Stratix III EP3SL100F1152C2, the fmax is reported as 229.52 MHz, if you were wondering.

*These values are sans optimizations... if anyone can tell me how to make Quartus not synthesize away multiple cores, please let me know, and then I can give you some numbers that more likely reflect reality. (Although there's probably a problem with the core.vhd I need to fix... I work way too much and I have an exam later... I need to leave this alone.)
