Honored ContributorThe statement doesn't say less supply voltages than Cyclone III. It makes only sense for a 2.5/1.2 V design, which is possible with Cyclone III as well. The problem is however, that Altera doesn't supply AS devices for 2.5V supply up to now, so the statement is only halfway true.
At first look, the Cyclone IV E doesn't bring essential changes compared to Cyclone III, possibly power reduction. I didn't yet hear about prices.
