In the last quarter, Intel nominally completed the absorption of Altera - Developer programmable matrices with which cooperated for a long time and produced products using advanced 14-nm process technology. It is expected that the first samples of Xeon processors with integrated on a single substrate matrices Altera Intel customers will receive already in the quarter.
Echo of the deal sounded loudly. The company mentioned that in the segment of cloud solutions 40% of production adapts it for specific customers, although these statements can not be attributed to the pace of FPGA arrays expansion - the fruit of cooperation with Altera throughout 2016 will be mainly in the form of engineering samples, and only in 2017 will be expanded mass production. These processors contain two chips in one package
