ZX Spectrum Next implementation on a sub $30 Tang Nano 20k FPGA board.

( via @rcl )
Impressive technical feat, fitting the Next core into a much smaller FPGA of a completely different architecture, the original Spectrum Next runs on the more powerful Xilinx FPGAs (Spartan, originally, and Artix class in KS2 and KS3. KS3 in particular will be delivering a Xilinx Artix-7 XC7A35T-2CSG324C).
All of which speaks highly of both the technical ability of RetroSilicon, and the quality and expansive vision of the SpecNext LLC implementation.
