Xilinx vs Altera Update 2017
I truly miss the Xilinx versus Altera war of words (competition at its finest) and competition is what makes the fabless semiconductor ecosystem truly great, absolutely. So with great disappointment I read the Intel Analyst Day transcript published by Bloomberg last week. It is attached at the bottom in case you are interested but to me it is a 41 page snoozefest.
Here is the detailed (sarcasm) update on the Programmable Solutions Group (Altera) from Intel CEO Brian Krzanich (BK). Please note that PSG was not even on the agenda with the rest of the Intel groups:
What I'm really proud of for this group is two things for 2016. One, 14 nanometer, first 14 nanometer FPGA shipped to customers, which is on Intel technology...
Let’s not forget that Intel and Altera signed a foundry agreement exactly four years ago for the 14nm product that they are just now shipping today. This agreement led to the image below showing that the Intel 14nm process is by far superior to the TSMC 16nm process. Xilinx has been in production at 16nm for more than a year now which brings me to my first question for BK:
