Intel announces new FPGA families

Image source: Intel PSG

Intel has announced these new/future FPGA families:

Intel® Agilex™ D-Series

For midrange FPGA applications like studio cameras, 8K video transport, and wireless infrastructure.

This new family incorporates an upgraded hard processor system (HPS), Enhanced DSP with AI Tensor Block, MIPI I/O support, and a hardened time-sensitive network controller (TSN). Intel Agilex D-Series devices also keep features from previous families like the 2nd-generation Intel® Hyperflex™ FPGA Architecture and high-speed SerDes transceivers.
