Stratix II - Cyclone II GATE COUNT

its not available - it's called: "marketing strategy"...

Here is the PR-article where they announce to stop comparing to gates...

Altera: Out with Gate Counts, In with Logic Elements

Altera devices are Macrocells, Logic Elements or Adaptive Logic Modules. The combinatorial complexity of the primitive elements vary and they hold 1, 1 or 2 bits in the register. So depending on your register count or combinatorial complexity you end up with a specific device, where from my experience the I/O pin, OnChip memory or DSP Block count is leading the device choiche.
