Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

To meet growing customer demand, Intel announced that it will further expand the Intel Agilex® FPGA product family and continue to expand the Programmable Solutions Group (PSG) offering to meet the growing demand for customized workloads, including enhanced AI capabilities, while delivering lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and more complete solutions.

"In January, we announced an expansion of our Agilex product family to enable more users to experience the benefits of our award-winning Agilex FPGAs. We look forward to sharing this new FPGA product family with customers and partners at the annual IFTD conference and detailing the opportunities these products offer to accelerate programmable innovation." "

- Shannon Poulin, Vice President and General Manager, Programmable Solutions Group, Intel Corporation

FPGAs play an important role in Intel's product family, providing flexible, customized platform capabilities that help customers better enter the AI market. Intel FPGAs leverage powerful AI capabilities at the chip, IP, and software levels to help customers tackle challenges from the cloud to the edge. For example, the new FPGAs support edge work with configurable l / O while supporting low-volume, real-time Al workloads, and consume significantly less power than existing FPGAs used for AI work processing.

Intel's latest announcement shows how the company will gradually increase its investment in the FPGA product family. In 2023, Intel plans to release 15 new FPGA products, and so far, a total of 11 products have been launched, which exceeds the total number of FPGA products released by Intel over the years. Intel disclosed in its second quarter 2023 earnings call that revenue from its PSG business unit grew 35% year-over-year, setting an all-time high for three consecutive quarters.

Intel's robust Agilex portfolio continues Intel's commitment to leveraging FPGAs to meet programmable logic needs at all levels, including continuous improvements in FPGA capabilities to help developers build solutions faster. Intel also announced an open source version of Open FPGA Stack (OFS), the first production adapter based on the Intel F2000X Infrastructure Processor (IPU) platform, and the new Nios® V processor.

Intel Agilex® 3 FPGA Family Disclosure-Small size, low power, cost optimized

The family is a cornerstone for many applications across markets, including system/board monitoring and management, video and vision, protocol extension, portable imaging and display, sensor fusion, drivers, robotic I / O extension, and more. Here are details of the two new Intel Agilex 3 FPGA family products: B Series and C Series:

o Agilex 3B Series FPGAs offer higher I / O density, smaller form factor and lower power consumption than Intel MAX® 10 FPGAs. The B-Series FPGAs are geared towards board and system management, including server platform management (PFM) applications.

o The C-Series FPGAs offer additional capabilities for a range of complex programmable logic device (CPLD) and FPGA applications for a wide range of vertical market segments.

Intel Agilex® 5 FPGA E-Series Early Experience Program Expansion-Designed for midrange FPGA applications, open access as early as Q4 2023, and mass shipments beginning Q1 2024

Intel Agilex 5 FPGA E Series delivers cost-effective power and performance for embedded edge applications. E-Series FPGAs deliver up to 1.6 times better performance per watt than competitors on 16nm processes1. The family uses the second generation Intel ®Hyperflex™FPGA architecture and Intel 7 process technology to optimize transistor performance per watt for superior power consumption. Intel Agilex 5 FPGAs and SoCs take the industry's first AI-optimized module embedded in Intel's previous generation of high-end products and extend it to midrange Agilex 5 FPGAs, ideal for edge AI applications. Intel is currently working with multiple customers to design the E-Series products as part of its Early Experience program and plans to gradually sample them beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023. Intel will begin mass delivery of E-Series engineering samples in the first quarter of 2024 and will provide full design software. SIMICS, a complete system simulator for pre-and post-chip software development, testing and system integration, will be fully available for Agilex 5 in Q4 2023.

Intel Agilex® 7 FPGA R-Tile Now Available in Large Quantities-PCIe 5.0 and CXL

Intel introduced the Agilex 7 FPGA R-Tile in May 2023 with leading-edge technology capabilities that deliver 2x faster PCIe 5.0 bandwidth per port and 4x faster CXL bandwidth per port than comparable FPGAs. Intel Agilex 7 FPGAs feature configurable and scalable architectures that enable customers to deploy custom technologies at scale and quickly based on the hardware speed of their specific needs, reducing overall design costs and development processes, accelerating execution and achieving optimal data center performance.

Open FPGA Stack (OFS) Open Source Release-Open Source Ecosystem, Accelerated Workloads

Currently, developers have free access to open source OFS hardware code, software code, and technical documentation for platform and workload development. The open-source OFS supports Intel Agilex FPGAs and Intel ®Stratix®10 FPGAs, helping hardware and software developers leverage its capabilities to develop solutions. To date, several partners, including BittWare, Hitek Systems and SigmaX, have launched deployable platforms and applications based on OFS.

First F2000X IPU-based production adapters released-accelerating cloud and network workloads

With Napatech, the leading provider of smart network cards and IPUs, releasing production adapters to the public, the market is accelerating the deployment of IPUs and new solutions are being introduced to the market. Napatech's F2070X IPU production adapter reduces TCO for cloud and networking applications.

Nios V / c Compact Microcontroller Launch-RISC-V Processor for Control Applications

Intel is introducing a new addition to the Nios®V processor family: the Nios V / c compact microcontroller. Nios V / c processor is a free softcore IP based on the open source industry standard RISC-V architecture. The processor was initially targeted for all devices supported by Intel ®Quartus®Prime Pro software in the product roadmap and migrated to target more devices supported by Quartus Prime standard software. Quartus Prime is a programmable logic device design software. Customers will get relevant solutions and an unrestricted, rapidly expanding and responsive ecosystem to bring their designs to market more easily.
