Back in 2013, Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) and then-standalone programmable logic chip specialist Altera announced that the latter would build its next high-end field programmable gate array, or FPGA, known ...
With last week's big Altera acquisition Intel made an expensive bet on a future of data center hardware that uses significantly more customized designs than today's monolithic racks of commodity x86 ...
For the past two decades, Intel has taken on the processor makers for servers and storage in the datacenter and vanquished all but a few suppliers of alternative architectures from the glass house.
For those who read here often, there are clear signs that the FPGA is set to become a compelling acceleration story over the next few years. From the relatively recent Intel acquisition of Altera by ...
For decades, Intel processors have powered most of the world’s PCs. But the company is now looking outside its conventional chips to FPGAs, or field programmable gate arrays, as it searches for ways ...
Intel is taking its FGPA lineup beyond the data center and extending its Agilex products to remote, edge computing, and embedded systems. Seven years after its $16.7 billion acquisition of FPGA maker ...
Although chiplets have recently broken into the semiconductor limelight in a big way, Intel’s Programmable Solutions Group (PSG) has relied on chiplet technology for its Field Programmable Gate Arrays ...
The move to split off its programmable chip unit isn't the first time Intel has spun out a specialized business. Last year, it made Mobileye a standalone company. Intel announced plans to spin off its ...
When it comes to speeding up computationally intensive workloads, GPUs are not the only game in town. FPGAs (field-programmable gate arrays) are also gaining traction in data centers. While companies ...
As web giants such as Google and Facebook customise their huge IT estates to drive down running costs, Intel is trying to meet their needs by making its chips more flexible. Its latest step is to ...
Intel, after a couple of months of negotiation, has agreed to buy Altera for $16.7 billion (£11 billion) in cash. The acquisition comes just a few days after Avago announced its $37 billion ...
