No end to the possibilities: x86 meets FPGA

The Intel® Atom™ E6x5C processor series pairs an Intel® Atom™E6x5 series processor with an Altera Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in a single package. This is an entirely new approach to embedded x86 technologies with the potential to dramatically change the way in which embedded devices are designed in the future. It opens a new window for x86 technologies to become even more dedicated on a common technology platform.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
