Yes, it will be a Chessbase engine, but it will never run without the FPGA card.

I think that Brutus is not actually running on the FPGA, it only uses it for
move generation, swapoff, evaluation, quiescence, and stuff like this. A full
blown a-b search in a gate-array seems impossible to me. But maybe i'm wrong.

Probably Chessbase wants to sell a package with the Xilinx card included, this
will cost a few hundred bucks though.

If you want to have a software only version of Brutus, you might as well take
Nimzo.
