Last December, Lattice Semiconductor announced the Avant-E family of mid-range FPGAs (see “Lattice Strides Into the Mid-Range FPGA Arena With Avant”), and, at its Developer Conference this month, the company announced an expansion of the Avant family tree through new Avant-G and Avant-X FPGA families. The Lattice Avant-G family is designated as the general-purpose, mid-range FPGA family, and the Avant-X FPGAs are designed specifically for networking applications. Lattice defines “mid-range” as FPGAs that incorporate 100K to 500K logic elements. This definition seems to fit … Read More → "Lattice launches two new mid-range FPGA families with six more FPGAs into the FPGA wars"

Arrow has just launched a development board for Intel’s soon-to-be-produced Agilex 5 SoC FPGAs, and two more such boards wait in the wings. The Arrow AXE5-Eagle board sports one Intel Agilex 5 E-series SoC FPGA. Initially, these development boards will incorporate an engineering sample of the SoC FPGA with 656K logic elements (LEs), while production boards, available by the end of the first half of 2024, will incorporate Agilex 5 devices with 334K LEs. The target price for the board is $995, which is subject to change, according to Arrow. Intel formally announced the Agilex 5 D- and E-series SoC FPGA … Read More → "Arrow reveals first Dev Board for Intel Agilex 5 FPGAs, with two more boards planned"
