Intel addresses business needs with new Agilex7 FPGAs, the fastest data rates on the market.

Intel announced on the 8th that it has launched the new Intel Agilex® 7 FPGA with F-tiles.

Intel announced that the new Intel Agilex will feature the fastest field programmable gate array (FPGA) transceivers on the market, enabling customers to address challenges in the most bandwidth-intensive areas of the data-centric world, including data centers and high-speed networks.

The new Intel Agilex 7 FPGA, featuring F-tiles, is designed with embedded, networking, and cloud customers in mind and provides a flexible hardware solution with industry-leading transceiver performance.

Additionally, it provides speeds of up to 116 Gbps and enhanced 400 Gbps Ethernet (GbE) intellectual property (IP).

“The Agilex 7 with F-Tile features a transceiver that delivers greater flexibility, bandwidth and data rate performance than any FPGA on the market today,” said Shannon Poulin, Intel vice president and general manager of the Programmable Solutions Group. “Intel is leveraging its manufacturing capabilities and supply chain resilience to deliver industry-leading products and capabilities across a broad range of areas that our customers and industries need to address a broad range of critical business needs,” he said.

Network operators, cloud providers, and enterprise organizations are faced with increasing bandwidth demands and are seeking cost-effective and flexible hardware solutions. The Intel Agilex 7 with F-Tiles addresses these needs, supporting bandwidth-intensive applications such as networking, cloud or embedded applications, infrastructure processing units (IPUs), and compute-intensive applications.

Additionally, it doubles the bandwidth per channel compared to previous-generation Intel FPGAs, reduces power consumption, and delivers higher data traffic while maintaining strict form factor constraints.

Intel Agilex 7, featuring F-tiles based on Intel's 10nm SuperFin process technology, provides customers with the flexibility to create custom chip designs to fit their specific requirements.

Intel enables customers to realize new connectivity topologies in a single device through multi-protocol capabilities and support combined with faster data rates.

For example, Intel Agilex 7 with F-Tile supports optical networking applications from 400 Gbps up to 1.6 Tbps, as well as applications such as 25/50G passive optical networks for high-speed broadband applications or broadcast standards such as HDMI and SDI.

Intel continues to optimize FPGAs for application in a variety of markets, including optical networking, data centers, broadcast studios, medical test facilities, and 5G networks, based on Intel Agilex 7.
