Intel has started shipping the Stratix 10 SX FPGA. The device, which integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor and features more than 1million logic elements, is said to suit 5G wireless communication, software defined radio, secure computing for military applications, network function virtualisation and data centre acceleration.
“With Intel Stratix 10 SX FPGAs, Intel reaffirms its ‘all in’ commitment to SoC FPGA devices,” said Reynette Au, vice president of marketing for Intel’s Programmable Solutions Group. “We now provide a wide set of options for customers needing processors and FPGAs, with device offerings across the low-end, mid-range and now, high-end FPGA families, to enable their system designs.”
Manufactured on Intel’s 14nm process technology, the Stratix10 SX combines the ARM hard processor system with the Intel HyperFlex core fabric architecture to create what it calls a high-performance and power-efficient SoC FPGA.
Designs can be created using the Intel SoC FPGA Embedded Development Suite , which also enables customers to access the ARM Development Studio 5 Intel SoC FPGA Edition to code, build, debug and optimise applications.
