Intel has announced that it has started sampling the Stratix 10 FPGA (field programmable array) chips to its customers, which is the industry's first 14nm FPGA.

While being the industry's first 14nm FPGA, the new Stratix 10 FPGA chip is also the first chip to be based on quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU with integrated HMB2 (2nd generation High Bandwidth Memory) on the package, thanks to Intel's HyperFlex architecture.

According to Intel, the Stratix 10 chip will offer twice the core performance and over five times the density compared to the previous generation and significantly lower power usage, up to 70 percent compared to Stratix V FPGA.

It will also offer up to 10 TFLOPs of single-precision floating point DSP performance and offer up to 1TBps memory bandwidth with integrated HBM2.

According to Intel, these chips could be used in data centers where it should provide significant improvements in performance and power efficiency as well as offer significant improvements for bandwidth-intensive applications.
