Cyrus (Plus) is actually two different boards (not taking into account potential pin incompatibilities between P5020 and P5040 which could require some adaptations for the board in the X5000/40), so the development costs are likely unevenly distributed between Cyrus and Tabor. And, as ASiegel wrote, the $1.2M figure includes manufacturing costs.

There shouldn't be a complete redesign between the P5020 and P5040 boards. Just went back and checked the press release and it says the $1.2M is for 2 agreements. I assume one is Tabor and one is Cyrus Plus. It does indeed say design *and* manufacture. It does not say how many boards.

So what is the apples to apples comparison?

Indeed. I just mean that the adaptation costs contribute to the shift of the larger share of the $1.2M figure towards Cyrus (Plus).

As I doubt that Varisys designed the mATX Cyrus for free, I assume one agreement is for mATX Cyrus *and* ATX Cyrus Plus while the other one is for Tabor. If the Cyrus agreement is about two boards, this should further contribute to the shift of the larger share of the $1.2M figure towards Cyrus.

The Freescale T2080 exists already on a PCIe add-in card apparently...
