Intel Gains Ground to Compete in the Multibillion-Dollar FPGA Market
In the midst of a fairly forgettable year, Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) has finally done something noteworthy: Last month, it started shipping its Agilex field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) to early access customers, including Microsoft.
Why is this important? Well, rival Xilinx (NASDAQ: XLNX) has been enjoying terrific growth of late thanks to its dominance in this fast-growing tech niche. Intel, by contrast, had been behind Xilinx on the FPGA curve. But with the debut of this new line, which is built on its 10-nanometer platform, Chipzilla should be able to challenge Xilinx for a significant piece of the FPGA pie.
