Intel To Broaden FPGA Lineup And Make Them At Home

September 27, 2022 Timothy Prickett Morgan 2

Back in 2015, when Intel was flush with cash thanks to a near-monopoly from X86 datacenter compute, it shelled out an incredible $16.7 billion to acquire FPGA maker Altera because a few hyperscalers and cloud builders were monkeying around with offloading whole chunks of CPU compute to FPGAs to create SmartNICs. …

A Cornucopia Of Memory And Bandwidth In The Agilex-M FPGA

March 8, 2022 Timothy Prickett Morgan 0

When it comes to memory for compute engines, FPGAs – or rather what we have started calling hybrid FPGAs because they have all kinds of hard coded logic as well as the FPGA programmable logic on a single package – have the broadest selection of memory types of any kind of device out there. …

Xilinx Benefits From Intel FPGA Shortages

February 7, 2022 Timothy Prickett Morgan 2

As AMD is getting closer to closing its $35 billion acquisition of FPGA maker Xilinx, it is natural to think about how well that business is doing and how it is competing against its main rival, Intel – specifically, the Programmable Solutions Group, formerly known as the free-standing Altera before the latter was acquired by Intel in June 2015 for $16.7 billion. …

Covering All The Compute Bases In A Heterogeneous Datacenter

January 15, 2020 Timothy Prickett Morgan 1

Intel has spent more than three decades evolving from the dominant provider of CPUs for personal computers to the dominant supplier of processors for servers in the datacenter. …

With Agilex, Intel Gets A Coherent FPGA Strategy

April 2, 2019 Michael Feldman 1

When Intel purchased Altera in 2015 for $16.7 billion, company officials predicted that up to a third of servers would be equipped with FPGAs by 2020. …
