Altera Corporation (NASDAQ: ALTR) today announced the shipment of the
EP3SL150, the first member of its 65-nm Stratix® III FPGA family.
Featuring 150K logic elements and delivering the lowest power
consumption of any high-density, high-performance programmable logic
device, the EP3SL150 is ideal for a broad range of applications such as
high performance computing, next-generation basestations, network
infrastructure, and advanced imaging equipment.
As per an official release, Stratix III FPGAs offer both 45 percent
lower power consumption and a 25 percent performance advantage over
competing solutions. The combination of Stratix III FPGAs and Altera®
Quartus® II design software improves productivity as well as
performance. For example, in the area of memory interfaces, the Stratix
III FPGAs provide designers with the industryâ€TMs only fully compliant
interface support for the newly ratified JEDEC DDR3 SDRAM standard,
including read and write leveling to DIMMs as well as devices.
