Intel Arria® V FPGA and SoC FPGA Benefits:

Industry's Lowest Power

Arria® V GZ FPGAs offer the lowest power-per-bandwidth for mid-range applications, and are ideal for power-sensitive designs that require transceivers up to 12.5 Gbps. At 10G data rates, Arria® V GZ FPGAs consume less than 180 mW per channel and at 12.5 Gbps consume less than 200 mW per channel. Arria® V GZ FPGAs also offer a lower static power offering with a -3L speed grade.

Arria® V GX and GT FPGAs offer the lowest total power for mid-range applications by using the 28 nm low power process to deliver the lowest static power, offering the lowest power transceivers for speeds up to 10.3125 Gbps, and providing superior fabric with hard IP designed to lower dynamic power. Arria® V devices provide a 40% on average power reduction compared to the previous generation of midrange FPGAs.

Customizable ARM* Processor-Based SoCs

Intel® SoC FPGAs let you reduce system power, system cost, and board space by integrating a hard processor system (HPS) – consisting of processors, peripherals, and memory controller – with the FPGA fabric using a high-bandwidth interconnect backbone. The combination of the HPS with Intel's 28 nm low-power FPGA fabric provide the performance and ecosystem of an applications-class ARM* processor with the flexibility and digital signal processing (DSP) richness of the Arria® V FPGAs.

Easy Migration Path to Intel® Arria® 10 SoC FPGA

The Arria® V SoC FPGA and Intel® Arria® 10 SoC FPGA utilize the same dual-core ARM* Cortex*-A9 MPCore* processor. Therefore, when your Arria® V SoC FPGA design is ready for a performance upgrade you can easily migrate your software to the Intel® Arria® 10 SoC FPGA. Based on the TSMC 20 nm process, the Intel® Arria® 10 SoC FPGA offers for a performance upgrade path for Arria® V SoC FPGA designs with easy software migration.
