Intel opens manufacturing doors to Achronix! Becomes mini foundry?Pradeep's Point! - Pradeep ChakrabortyNov. 02, 2010 |
For those who are not aware, yesterday, Achronix Semiconductor Corp. announced strategic access to Intel’s 22nm process technology, and plans to develop the most advanced FPGAs.
According to the release, the Achronix Speedster22i FPGA family will shatter existing limitations of FPGAs, allowing cost effective production of high performance devices over 2.5M LUTs in size, equivalent to an ASIC of over 20 million gates.
What’s really interesting in all of this is the involvement of Intel and Achronix’s use of Intel’s 22nm technology.
