The rumors were right, and AMD president and chief executive officer Lisa Su is indeed printing out a tower of stock to acquire FPGA maker Xilinx for what amounts to about $35 billion and, as it turns out, she is relinquishing her position as president to Victor Peng, chief executive at Xilinx, to close the deal. …
You can have a strategy, but you can’t buy one.
Nothing illustrates this principle more than the networking buying binges that both Intel and AMD went on nearly a decade ago, which did not really amount to much in the end but which made some sort of sense in the middle of it all happening. …
If you wanted to wrest control of datacenter compute as embodied mainly in the Xeon SP processor away from Intel, there are a number of approaches that you might take. …
Any workload that has a complex dataflow with intricate data needs and a requirement for low latency should probably at least consider an FPGA for the job. …
While Xilinx and Intel are the dominant suppliers of discrete FPGAs and related system on chip designs that have FPGAs at their heart, they are by no means the only providers of programmable logic in the datacenter. …
In this webinar, you will learn how to leverage FPGA-based PCIe accelerator cards to achieve 10-100x increase in performance vs. …
If you squint your eyes, a modern FPGA looks like a programmable logic device was crossbred with the mutt of a switch ASIC and an SoC. …
The Next AI Platform is going virtual for 2020.
This was, of course, not the plan. …
Ahead of The Next FPGA Platform event that we hosted recently in San Jose, we talked to Manoj Roge, vice president of product planning and business development at Achronix, about the three waves of FPGAs that have occurred over the past three decades, and in the course of our live conversation, we got a little more insight into the addressable market for FPGAs and also talked about the fourth wave, which is just starting now. …
It is hard to take on either Intel or Nvidia in their respectively dominant CPU and GPU markets, and credit is due to AMD for taking on both companies at the same time to try to carve itself a larger slice of the datacenter pie. …
