I think this looks really interesting.

It says 10 oscillators per group, it has 2 groups at 128 polyphony

I haven’t seen a pricepoint.
No it uses a field programmable gate array, which is really nothing like the hardware chips found in graphics processors.
Graphics processors are still primarily general purpose processors that you run software on. FPGA's are hardware based. You design your circuits as if you were building physical hardwired circuits. In order to change the functionality you have to literally re-program the configuration of the internal logic gates.

In a couple of videos the guy behind it said "well below 2000 euros".
The only bad thing about it is that it is not available right now.
If it sounds as good as it promises, a lot of manufacturers will be getting nervous.
Apparently there are also rack and keyboard versions in the make.
