The Malta is very expensive and also is a very old design. On top of that
a Malta is just an ATX-format base board which needs a CPU card. A
typical CPU card contains one or two of the biggest FPGAs money can buy
so the CPU itself can be replaced by loading a bitfile. That is very
appealing to hardware developers but the FPGA dictate a very juicy price.
