That's some news because Intel hadn't in a while.

But IMHO this is is far more interesting:

This is a real contender from China. Not just some new cheap chip, but actually competitive with Intel/Lattice/Xilinx offerings.

Competitive in what sense? in which market outside of china? Cyclone V a decade old platform offers similar capability and is a tested platform.

... at 22nm?

Apples to oranges.

Cyclone V is 28nm so it should be outclassed by a new product offering in 2022 thats manufactured at a better node right? i'm not saying its a bad design, but that product is not a competitive offering. this new family from intel is on intel 7 node which is at scale intel can eat node prices to stay competitive. intel will probably price this competitively with its cyclone v offering if that happens intel will eat the market share of xilinx and lattice unless they announce something new.

You can buy their parts on mouser and they have "small" fpgas too

there are even few in stock https://eu.mouser.com/ProductDetail/GOWIN-Semiconductor/GW1N...
