FPGA Dachang may return to the mid-market one after another
Following the acquisitions of independent FPGA vendors Altera and Celinx, many people expressed concern about the future of FPGA products, and the view that "the future of FPGA will probably only be found in the data center server" dominated. But in the past two or three years, Intel Agilex FPGA series, AMD ACAP platform, Lattice Nexus/Avant FPGA platform has been launched, and let people see the style of the former king. More noteworthy is that recently, these enterprises also coincide with the "stare" at the middle end of the FPGA market.
As an extension of Intel's high-end Agilex FPGA products to mid-range applications, the Agilex D series uses Intel's 7-process technology to provide smaller shape specifications and lower power and density than the current Agilex F/I/M series, suitable for scenarios with higher performance requirements. Such as radio and television industry, 5G processing, RF processing, small base station, return and so on. In contrast, the previous F-Series was suitable for a variety of applications in the data center, network and edge; The I-series is suitable for applications that require a large amount of interface bandwidth and high performance. The M Series offers consistent connectivity for Intel Xeon processors, HBM integration, enhanced DDR5 controllers, and Intel Otome DC persistent memory support, optimized for data-intensive applications that require large amounts of memory and high bandwidth. The Sundance Mesa FPGA, also based on the Intel 7-process process, is designed to provide high energy efficiency for edge and embedded applications such as edge computing, PLC, video/visual processing, industrial robotics. Compared to Intel Agilex D Series FPGas, Sundance Mesa will take advantage of lower power consumption, smaller shape specification and logic density to move towards a wider application market.
Lattice, known for its low-power FPgas, has also announced a move into the mid-tier market. The company recently launched a new low-power mid-tier Avant FPGA platform based on a series of innovations made on the Nexus platform. Avant's products are targeted at the communications, computing, industrial and automotive sectors. Compared with previous products, Avant platform has been further strengthened in terms of performance and hardware resources. For example, the capacity of logical unit has reached 500K, which is 5 times higher than the previous configuration of 100K-150K. Bandwidth improved by 10 times, computing performance improved by 30 times, and so on. "Low power," "advanced connectivity," and "optimized computing" are the three core features of the Avant platform. Its key architectural highlights include 25G SERDES and parallel I/O standards to meet the needs of a wide range of external memory interfaces, including DDR4, DDR5, and LPDDR4, as well as traditional standards. At the same time, compared with similar competitive devices, the package size is reduced by up to 6 times, which can realize efficient small size system design.
