Intel/altera

In 2015, Intel and Altera merged to establish the Intel Programmable Solutions Group, which combines the strengths of both companies in the field of FPGA technology. Intel, a leader in the CPU market, has a strong presence in the data center market, while Altera is a leading supplier of FPGA technology used in various applications such as networking, industrial automation, and military systems.

One of the core technologies of Intel CPUs is their ability to deliver high performance while operating at low power. This is achieved through Intel’s advanced manufacturing process technology, which produces small, energy-efficient transistors. Additionally, Intel CPUs include features such as multi-core processing, hyper-threading, and advanced instruction sets, further enhancing the performance and capabilities of the CPUs.

On the other hand, Altera’s FPGA technology provides customers with a high degree of flexibility and customization, which is particularly useful for applications requiring high performance and low power consumption. Altera’s FPGA technology includes features such as embedded processors, high-speed serial interfaces, and advanced memory interfaces, which further enhance the performance and capabilities of the FPGAs. Additionally, Altera’s software tools offer a range of tools and libraries to help customers optimize FPGA designs and ensure they meet performance and power requirements.
