To save you the digging, the chips are Xilink VU9p UltraScale series : https://www.xilinx.com/products/silicon-devices/fpga/virtex-...

(retracted, can't find exact part on digikey) Quantity 1 pricing is about $2000/chip ; however, that price would no doubt drop substantially at even a 1000 chip order. A typical discount (appears to be) 20% at qty 100; so at qty 1000, maybe 33%? So 1 of these chips might be $1200 after you figure a bunch of other discounts?

EDIT:

https://www.xilinx.com/products/silicon-devices/fpga/virtex-...

^^^ the product table.

The XCVU9P is listed as having ~6800 DSP slices, 2,2586K (= ~2.5 million) of system logic cells. That pretty much matches what Amazon describes as them using.

(The DDR-4 RAM is external - so it doesn't help narrow down the device.)

However there are multiple, very similarly named parts, and it doesn't seem that the XCVU9P is listed on Digikey. Other parts named UltraScale are - thus the confusion.
