@mxh5210: thanks for what? :-)

I found out speed grades from the datasheet in the meantime:

6- max. 500 MHz

7- max. 437.5 MHz

8- max. 402 MHz

Tencell have these units in stock now, so the question has been solved by themselves. It was just misunderstanding during request of our sekretary.

But during checking the availability from Altera FPGA's I found out that there are many chips with long delivery times. I have to consider this more in future designs.
