On April 19, Intel once again introduced its own Stratix 10 TX FPGA chip.
This is the fastest FPGA chip on the planet , Floating-point performance reaches 10TFLOPS (10 trillion times per second), In simple terms, 420 Blu-ray discs can be processed in 1 second.
According to Intel, its performance is 10 to 100 times that of consumer-grade products. Stratix 10 built-in 30 billion transistors, 14nm process.
However, the FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) chip is different from the common CPU. It can perform special, specialized scene computation tasks by reprogramming.
Let’s compare it, The Intel i7-8700K is about 2.2 billion transistors and operates 110 billion times per second. NVIDIA's TITAN V is 21 billion transistors and operates about 15 trillion times per second (single precision).
Stratix 10 TX was launched in February this year and is the industry's only FPGA with 58G PAM4 transceiver technology that can be used for optical transmission networks, network function virtualization (NFV), enterprise networks, cloud service providers, etc. High bandwidth requirements Very urgent 5G network application.
Other products in the Stratix 10 FPGA family currently include Stratix 10 GX FPGAs with 28G transceivers, Stratix 10 SX FPGAs (quadonic ARM A53), and Stratix 10 MX FPGAs with HBM memory.
