The only thing is the evaluation board costs $3900, as listed on their web site: http://www.mai.com/product/Teron%20CX.shtml
This compares to the Pegasos at 650 Euros for the basic board (G3 400), with processors upto the highest current speed (1GHz) available as and when (at an unknown price however!). But still, it's good to see actual POP boards :-)
