External Memory Interface (EMIF) Spec Estimator

The External Memory Interface Spec Estimator—a parametric tool—allows you to find and compare the performance of the supported external memory interfaces in Intel® FPGAs. You’ll have the ability to filter down to specific performances based on your targeted specifications and compare performances across FPGAs.
