Xilinx Stays a Generation Ahead with Multiple 20nm Firsts
First design tools, product tape-out, and ten customer engagements
SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 30, 2013
/PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) today announced three major
milestones in the execution and introduction of its next generation 20nm All
Programmable Devices. The 20nm portfolio builds upon Xilinx breakthroughs proven
at 28nm to provide an extra generation of system performance, lower power and
programmable system integration. The 20nm portfolio will address a wide range of
next generation systems and provides the most compelling programmable
alternative ever to ASICs and ASSPs.
"Xilinx went 'all in' to move a generation
ahead at 28nm, and is doing the same at 20nm to stay a generation ahead. We are
on a very aggressive path to deliver our next generation design tools and
devices into the hands of our customers," said Victor Peng, senior vice
president, Programmable Platform Group at Xilinx.
First
Design Tools for 20nm
The Xilinx Vivado™ Design Suite, the first SoC strength design suite for programmable devices, will support initial 20nm devices in March 2013. At 20nm, the design suite will further accelerate time to integration and implementation by 4x as well as deliver up to 50 percent power reduction and three speed grades of performance improvement.
First
20nm Product Tape OutIn the second quarter of 2013, Xilinx will tape out
its first 20nm product on TSMC's 20SoC manufacturing process. Xilinx will be
readying device samples this year for strategic customers who can begin
implementing next-generation applications. Xilinx optimized its 20nm All
Programmable portfolio to address the requirements of ever smarter, highly
integrated, bandwidth hungry systems in wired and wireless networks, data
centers, vision based systems, and other high performance applications.
First
Ten Early Access CustomersXilinx is now engaging with the first ten
customers on 20nm architecture evaluations and implementation activities. With
availability of documentation since November 2012, Xilinx has been working
closely with an increasing number of strategic customers doing early design
work. With the upcoming availability of design tools this quarter, the level of
design activity will grow significantly.
