Xilinx's UltraScale vs Arria 10 - Non dolet, PaeteSemiWiki - Luke MillerMar. 20, 2014 |
The DSP48E2 (I do not come up with these names… Could have named it a multiplier thingy) in the Xilinx 20nm UltraScale family (I do not come up with these names… Could of named it Virtex-8, or Luke-8) is simply amazing. Today was good, as I began playing with UltraScale tools and seeing how the DSP checks out. I also encourage you to check out the Altera 20nm node and you will once again see quite a difference between the families. In fact Altera says they are ‘redefining the midrange’ at the 20nm node… and for the Stratix-10, ‘Delivering unimaginable performance’. I am holding back on that one, in fact dear reader you could add in the punch line here. I was humming ‘it’s a small world after all’, picturing tattoo from Fantasy Island, yelling De FPGA, De FPGA Boss!
