Xilinx Announces 4.4M Logic Cell Device

Xilinx

today announced a new record breaking 4.4M logic cell device, more than doubling its industry leading highest capacity Virtex®-7 2000T device,  achieving two consecutive generations of high-end leadership, and delivering an extra node worth of customer value. As the highest end device of Xilinx's All Programmable UltraScale™ portfolio, also announced today, the Virtex® UltraScale™ VU440 3D IC extends Xilinx's industry lead from 2x at 28nm to 4x at 20nm – offering greater capacity than any other programmable device. Using advanced 3D IC technology, the VU440 device delivers more at 20nm than publicly stated competitive plans at 14/16nm.  The Virtex UltraScale VU440 device sets a new industry benchmark, delivering 50M equivalent ASIC gates for next generation production and prototyping applications.  20nm Virtex UltraScale devices also provide the highest system performance and bandwidth for single chip implementations of 400G MuxSAR, 400G Transponder and 400G MAC-to
