The Arria 10 SoCs feature all the enhancements needed for higher performance, lower power consumption, and richer embedded system capabilities compared to the previous generation of FPGA SoCs. Altera showcased its SoC-based solutions, including the industry's only 20nm FPGA SoCs, to attendees at Embedded World 2015 in Nuremberg, Germany.
Embedded system developers who have already recognized the value of FPGA SoCs have a clear migration path with Altera to enhance their next-generation systems. The Arria 10 SoCs are fully software-compatible with Altera's previous 28nm SoC family for seamless software migration between generations. The Arria 10 SoCs deliver up to 50 percent higher performance and up to 40 percent lower power consumption than the previous generation. Altera's SoC portfolio also includes a third-generation 14nm Stratix® 10 SoC with a quad-core 64-bit Cortex-A53 ARM processor for embedded system developers who demand the highest performance and power efficiency.
Altera FPGA SoCs enable intelligent embedded systems by differentiating single-chip products in both hardware and software. By combining ARM processors with an FPGA architecture, Arria 10 SoCs offer greater system value by reducing power consumption, costs, and board space. They are optimized for the power, security, and cost requirements of the next generation of embedded applications within wireless infrastructure, wired communications, storage computing, and broadcast equipment.
