These innovations result in the following improvements:

  • Improved Core Logic Performance: The Intel® Hyperflex™ core architecture combined with Intel 14-nm Tri-Gate technology allows Intel® Stratix® 10 MX devices to achieve 2X the core performance compared to the previous generation
  • Lower Power Intel® Stratix® 10 MX devices use up to 70% lower power compared to the previous generation, enabled by Intel 14 nm tri-gate technology, the Intel® Hyperflex™ core architecture, and optional power savings features built into the architecture
  • Higher Density: Intel® Stratix® 10 MX devices offer over two times the level of integration, with up to 2,100K logic elements (LEs) in a monolithic fabric, 94.5 Mbits of embedded eSRAM blocks, over 134 Mbits of embedded M20K memory blocks, and 7,920 18x19 multipliers
  • Improved Transceiver Performance: With up to 96 transceiver channels implemented in heterogeneous 3D SiP transceiver tiles, Intel® Stratix® 10 MX devices support data rates up to 57.8 Gbps PAM4 and 28.9 Gbps NRZ for chip-to-chip and backplane driving with signal conditioning circuits capable of equalizing over 30 dB of system loss
  • Improved DSP Performance: The variable precision DSP block in Intel® Stratix® 10 MX devices features hard fixed and floating point capability, with up to 6.5 TFLOP IEEE754 single-precision floating point performance
  • Additional Hard IP: Intel® Stratix® 10 MX devices include many more hard IP blocks than previous generation devices, with a hard memory controller included in each bank of 48 general purpose IOs, hard PCS, PCIe Gen3x16 full protocol stack, 100 GbE MAC, Reed-Solomon FEC hard IP, and KP-FEC hard IP to support the transceivers
  • Enhanced Core Clocking: Intel® Stratix® 10 MX devices feature programmable clock tree synthesis; clock trees are only synthesized where needed, increasing the flexibility and reducing the power dissipation of the clocking solution
  • Additional Core PLLs: The core fabric in Intel® Stratix® 10 MX devices is supported by both integer IO PLLs and fractional synthesis fPLLs, resulting in a greater total number of PLLs than the previous generation
