Product and Financial Highlights - Fiscal 2010
- Xilinx's 65nm Virtex-5 platform became the industry's most successful FPGA family in history generating more in quarterly sales than any other PLD family. Sales from this family nearly doubled in fiscal 2010 from the prior fiscal year due to broad-based customer acceptance in a variety of end markets including: mobile infrastructure, enterprise switching and routing, cryptography and industrial imaging.
- Xilinx introduced and commenced volume shipments of its next generation Virtex-6 and Spartan-6 FPGA platforms. The 40nm Virtex-6 platform leverages the successful Virtex-5 architecture and delivers higher performance and lower power consumption than competing FPGAs. The Spartan-6 platform marks the first time transceiver capability, high-performance PCIe and memory controllerblocks have been integrated into a 45nm low-cost FPGA fabric.
- Xilinx announced targeted design platform development kits for the Virtex-6 and Spartan-6 product families. These kits are designed to increase productivity and innovation for electronic designers in the areas of embedded processing, DSP and high speed serial connectivity and address end markets such as automotive, broadcast, consumer and industrial.
- After announcing collaboration with ARM in October, 2009, Xilinx recently unveiled a revolutionary, extensible, processing platform architecture designed to deliver unrivaled levels of system performance, flexibility and integration. This innovative, platform-based approach is expected to drive expansion into new market spaces leveraging Xilinx 28nm FPGA technology together with ARM's processor strengths and ecosystem.
- Xilinx generated over $550 million in cash and raised its dividend by $0.02 per diluted share to $0.16 per diluted share in fiscal 2010.
