Promised optical FPGA interfaces

[Altera_Forum]

Hi everyone, 

there is white paper "Overcome Copper Limits with Optical Interfaces" (WP-01161-1.1).  It was published in April 2011. It's about Altera's plans to incorporate optical interfaces inside FPFA.  Since April 2011 there are no more news about this extremly prospective feature.  What is target date of manufacturing of such FPGA ?

Don't expect it this year. Next year probably either.

i heard there was a prototype that they were showing at some seminars, though since Stratix V isn't yet in full production i agree this may be a ways out 

 its probably best to look at a Stratix V GX or GT and external optical for now

According to this it was demonstrated in Europe last month.
