真乄科技業的頂尖投資團隊

Intel 最大的代工客戶、美國晶片商 Altera 日前宣佈他們將會生產一款名為 Stratix 10 的 SoC，而其最大的特點，就是包含有全球首款四核心 64 位元 Cortex-A53 CPU（iPhone 5s 用的是 Samsung 生產的雙核心 64 位元 A7 ARM 架構處理器）。據悉該產品將透過 Intel 最先進的 14nm 製程打造，主要用於網路設備，並不會與 Qualcomm 或 Samsung 的手機晶片構成競爭。

Stratix® 10 FPGAs and SoCs offer breakthrough advantages in bandwidth and system integration, including the next-generation hard processor system (HPS), to deliver the industry’s highest performance and most power- efficient FPGAs and SoCs. Stratix 10 devices are manufactured on the revolutionary Intel 14 nm 3D Tri-Gate transistor technology, which delivers breakthrough levels of performance and power efficiencies that were previously unimaginable. When coupled with 64 bit quad-core ARM® CortexTM-A53 processors and advanced heterogeneous development and debug tools such as the Altera® SDK for OpenCLTM and SoC Embedded Design Suite (EDS), Stratix 10 devices offer the industry’s most versatile heterogeneous computing platform. - See more at: http://www.altera.com/devices/fpga/stratix-fpgas/stratix10/stx10-index.jsp#sthash.tww2YECA.dpuf
