Xilinx announces Virtex-7, Artix-7 and Kintex-7

These new 28nm devices will be available in 2011 Q1. Check the press release and this web for more details. The largest Virtex-7 device will feature up to 2 million logic blocks, about 2.5 times the largest Virtex-6 (LX760), and also 2x de memory bandwidth. Improvements seem mostly in line with the new process technology.

For the new 7 series devices, focus has been placed on IP portability among the different devices of the series. This seems an important step. Now let's hope that other standards arise also at the platform and high-level synthesis levels.

First post

Ok, I have never been a good blogger (usually my blog dies just after just some weeks of usage) but I will try again. I guess this will be basically some announcements of ongoing events or news that I consider to be important :-)

I create this blog attached to my new google site's web as a place for announcing and discussing events

Hope this one doesn't die too soon :-)
