As data centers and network traffic grow exponentially, traditional memory configurations will inevitably face limitations in meeting the exponential growth in data traffic.

The system's primary interface bandwidth already significantly exceeds the memory bandwidth provided by existing DDR technology. While bandwidth growth for Ethernet and PCIE has followed the industry's rapid growth trend over the past few years, DDR memory growth has been quite modest.

The 'Latest Intel Agilex FPGA Device In-Depth Exploration' hosted by e4ds and led by Na Hee-seok, Head of Uniquest, explained the changing network environment and the solutions provided by Intel Agilex FPGAs on the 14th.

Vice President Na Hee-seok said, “We need a new class of memory configuration and bandwidth that can increase I/O bandwidth, and the number and quality of transceivers are also important factors in processing high-speed network traffic.” He added, “Since the operation of multiple high-speed computing devices consumes a huge amount of power, a large-scale system design is necessary.”

Agilex has launched a new product line featuring high-bandwidth memory and transceivers. Agilex launched the F series in the first half of last year, and the M and I series are now available for early access.



The cloud offers significant advantages for the most memory-intensive workloads, particularly high-performance computing (HPC) and cryptocurrencies.

The most crucial aspect of networking is a network configuration that delivers high bandwidth and low latency, which is essential for IoT, mobile edge, and security systems. In factory automation and smart power control systems, efficiency and safety are paramount, so latency must be minimized. In remote medical diagnostic services, both system latency and security are crucial, noted Mr. Na.

"Meeting these demands requires high-performance routing paths, high-capacity memory buffers, and connectivity to high-bandwidth external devices," Na emphasized. "The Agilex M-Series offers high memory bandwidth, high-performance fabrics, and support for a variety of industry-standard protocols, including Ethernet and PCIe Gen 5," he said.

In the Edge Part description, Mr. Na said, “With the trend of increasing video quality from 4K to 8K, there is a need for high-performance codecs and many connection channels for other video data processing.” He explained, “The Agilex M series is capable of coding and processing various video data with high memory bandwidth and high-performance logic DSP.”

He also explained the upcoming Agilex I series, citing the trend toward requiring high-speed, multiple transceivers in many applications due to increased memory bandwidth, as well as the trend toward requiring high-performance image data processing and high-speed data transmission in video switcher and router applications.
