Maybe I'm just old, but it seems to me "new" in the FPGA world is not very inspiring. I guess I'm really saying I don't know diddly about '“R” transceiver tiles', CXL v2.0, or "hardened time-sensitive network controllers". Yup, I'ma gittin' old. -- Rick C. - Get 1,000 miles of free Supercharging - Tesla referral code - https://ts.la/richard11209

I think the FPGA market has bifurcated into (at least) two quite distinct markets: - the small, low cost, low power segment, where people want a programmable chip of the scale of a small CPU like a Z80 or an m68k, maybe in a small package like a BGA256. Quite a lot of crossover with CPLDs. - the server/etc market where the chips are as complex, expensive and power hungry as a modern Xeon Since being bought by Intel, Altera seemingly have pushed strongly towards the latter - not terribly surprising given it's Intel. For the former, I think we increasingly have to look away from Altera and Xilinx and towards the smaller players like Lattice and Microsemi, and maybe some of the Chinese firms. Theo
