Intel® Arria® 10 FPGAs & SoCs
Highest Performance FPGA and SoC at 20 nm1
Intel® Arria® 10 FPGAs deliver more than a speed grade faster core performance and up to a 20% fMAX advantage compared to the competition, using publicly-available OpenCore designs.1 Intel® Arria® 10 FPGAs and SoCs are up to 40 percent lower power than previous generation FPGAs and SoCs and feature the industry’s only hard floating-point digital signal processing (DSP) blocks with speeds up to 1.5 tera floating-point operations per second (TFLOPS).1
The 20 nm ARM*-based Intel® Arria® 10 SoC delivers optimal performance, power efficiency, small form factor, and low cost for midrange applications. The Intel Arria 10 SoC, based on TSMC’s 20 nm process technology, combines a dual-core ARM Cortex*-A9 MPCore* Hard Processor System (HPS) with industry-leading programmable logic technology that includes hardened floating-point digital signal processing (DSP) blocks. The Intel Arria 10 SoC offers a processor with a rich feature set of embedded peripherals, hardened floating-point variable-precision DSP blocks, embedded high-speed transceivers, hard memory controllers, and protocol intellectual property (IP) controllers - all in a single highly integrated package.

Wireless Backhaul Applications
The balance of high-performance and low-power capabilities of Intel Arria10 FPGAs and SoCs is ideally suited for wireless base stations, mobile backhaul, and remote radio head designs. With a comprehensive set of power reduction features, Intel Intel Arria 10 FPGAs and SoCs reduce power by up to 40% compared to prior-generation midrange devices.1 The Intel Arria 10 FPGA core performance of over 500 MHz enables 5X oversampling to provide users 100 MHz of RF bandwidth1. By offering higher numbers of variable-precision digital signal processing (DSP) blocks and dual-core ARM* Cortex*-A9 processor options, along with support for Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI), small form factor pluggable (SFP), and JESD protocols, Intel Arria 10 FPGAs and SoCs are low-risk design alternatives to application-specific integrated circuits. They have the added benefit of adaptability and reprogrammability to accommodate emerging and evolving protocols.
