• Stratix 10 FPGA and SoC deliver 10x higher core performance than current high-end FPGAs while enabling up to 70% power savings through Intel's 14nm Tri-Gate process and enhanced architecture
• Arria 10 FPGA and SoC redefine the midrange by outperforming high-end FPGAs in performance while delivering 40% lower power characteristics than current midrange devices

Hong Kong, June 11, 2013 – Altera Corporation (NASDAQ: ALTR) today announced its 10th generation FPGA and SoC (system-on-chip) portfolio, delivering innovative levels of performance and power efficiency to system developers. The 10th generation devices are optimized based on process technology and architecture to deliver the industry's highest performance and highest levels of system integration at lowest power conditions. The initial 10th generation product family includes Arria® 10 and Stratix® 10 FPGA and SoC with embedded processors. The 10th generation devices leverage industry-leading process technology including Intel's 14nm Tri-Gate process and TSMC's 20nm process. Early access customers are currently using Quartus® II software for 10th generation product development.

Patrick Dorsey, senior director of product marketing at Altera, said, "Our 10th generation products will accelerate the adoption of programmable logic into new markets and applications, and further accelerate FPGA implementation into sockets traditionally occupied by ASSPs and ASICs. Through the optimization achieved in our 10th generation devices, our customers can develop highly customized solutions that dramatically increase system performance and system integration while lowering operating costs."

Delivering More Than Imagination with Stratix 10 FPGA and SoC
Stratix 10 FPGA and SoC are designed to support the most demanding, cutting-edge applications in markets such as networking, communications, broadcast, computing, and storage while reducing system power. Leveraging Intel's 14nm Tri-Gate process and enhanced high-performance architecture, Stratix 10 FPGA and SoC deliver operating frequencies above 1GHz, which is 2x the core performance of current high-end 28nm FPGAs. For high-performance systems with the most stringent power budgets, Stratix 10 devices enable customers to reduce power consumption by up to 70% while maintaining performance equivalent to previous generations.
As part of the 10th generation portfolio launch, Altera today announced technical details of Stratix 10 FPGA and SoC, with more detailed information to be announced later. Stratix 10 FPGA and SoC deliver industry-leading performance and system integration capabilities as follows:
• More than 4 million LEs (logic elements) on a single die
• 56Gbps transceivers
• Single-precision digital signal processing performance exceeding 10TeraFLOPS
• Third-generation high-performance processor system
• Multi-die 3D solution capable of integrating SRAM, DRAM, and ASIC

Redefining the Midrange with Arria 10 FPGA and SoC
Arria 10 FPGA and SoC are the first device family released as part of the 10th generation portfolio. The device family establishes a new standard for midrange programmable devices by delivering both the performance and functionality of existing high-end FPGAs at the lowest midrange power conditions. Leveraging enhanced architecture optimized for TSMC's 20nm process, Arria 10 FPGA and SoC deliver higher performance at up to 40% lower power compared to previous device families.
Arria 10 devices deliver 15% higher performance than current high-end FPGAs while providing more features. Reflecting silicon convergence trends, Arria 10 FPGA and SoC provide the highest level of system integration available in midrange devices, including 1.15 million LEs (logic elements), integrated hard IP, and second-generation processor systems featuring dual 1.5GHz ARM® Cortex™-A9 processors. Arria 10 FPGA and SoC also feature 28Gbps transceivers providing 4x higher bandwidth than previous generations, DDR4 support up to 2666 Mbps, and Hybrid Memory Cube support up to 15Gbps, delivering 3x higher system performance.

Advanced Development Suite Delivering Revolutionary Productivity for 10th Generation
10th generation devices are supported by Altera's Quartus II development software and tools for higher-level design flows, including OpenCL SDK (Software Development Kit), SoC EDS (Embedded Design Suite), and DSP Builder. This advanced development tool suite enables design teams to maximize productivity while making it easier for new design teams to adopt 10th generation FPGAs and SoCs in their next-generation systems. Quartus II software will continue to deliver the industry's fastest compile times by providing 8x improved compile time compared to previous generations for 10th generation FPGA and SoC. The significant reduction in compile time was achieved through the use of advanced software algorithms leveraging the latest multi-core computing technology.

Availability
Early access customers are currently developing with Arria 10 FPGA and SoC using Quartus II software. Initial samples of Arria 10 devices are expected to be available in early 2014. Altera will develop 14nm Stratix 10 FPGA test chips in 2013 and provide Quartus II software support for Stratix 10 FPGA and SoC in 2014.
