Achronix to use Intel technology in FPGAs
Achronix Semiconductor
Speedster 22i FPGAs
Achronix Semiconductor has announced strategic access to Intel's 22nm process technology and plans to develop the most advanced Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs).
The Achronix Speedster 22i FPGA range will eliminate the existing limitations of FPGAs, allowing cost-effective production of high-performance devices over 2.5M LUTs in size - equivalent to an ASIC of over 20 million gates.
Taking advantage of the performance and power savings of Intel's 22nm process technology, Speedster 22i will also extend the boundaries of FPGA speed and power efficiency, enabling as much as 300 per cent higher performance, 50 per cent lower power and 40 per cent lower cost than any other FPGA in any other process technology - the company claims.
Achronix Speedster 22i will be suitable for applications in the telecommunication, networking, and industrial and consumer markets, and will enable emerging applications such as 100G and 400G Ethernet networking, and LTE mobile communications.
Additionally, Speedster 22i will be the first commercial FPGA range that can be manufactured in the US, making it the ideal platform for military and aerospace applications requiring onshore silicon.
