Alibaba Cloud FPGA Card Listed for $50 on Xianyu, Offers Bargain for Enthusiasts

News Flash 2026-05-18 18:12

A retired Alibaba Cloud FPGA acceleration card has been listed on Xianyu for 355 RMB (approximately $50), attracting attention for its affordability. The card, featuring an AMD/Xilinx Kintex UltraScale+ XCKU3P series chip, is significantly cheaper than its new counterpart, which is priced at $2,137.01 on the Mouser platform. Despite being a used item with uncertain condition, the card offers advanced hardware capabilities, including PCIe Gen3 x8 and dual SFP+ optical ports, making it an attractive option for FPGA enthusiasts. Originally a "blind card" without official documentation, the card has gained support from the open-source network computing platform Corundum/taxi, allowing it to be configured as an FPGA network interface card for 10G/25G Ethernet. This development highlights how the secondary market is making high-end FPGA technology more accessible to hobbyists and developers.
