According to the site EE Times, the third day of IDF 2016 Intel CEO Brian Krzhanich devoted to the story about the prospects of FPGA-development trends that emerged in the strategic plans of the company after the purchase of Altera. Huge amounts of money (. $ 16 billion) has been spent to accelerate the release of new products - however, already under the Intel brand. As evidence Krzhanich sample showed 14-nm Stratix programmable array 10, which will be available in production volumes this year.
The main part of produced under the wing of FPGA Intel will continue to use ARM-architecture, as explained Krzhanich. However, an assortment of Xeon processors with integrated Intel FPGA-matrices is also going to expand, but ARM-matrices is not in danger. According to the head of Intel, the entire infrastructure is tuned mainly by ARM-architecture.
By the way, Intel is currently developing Xeon processor , combining programmable matrix FPGA and memory support such as 3D XPoint.
It is noteworthy that Intel is ready to extend product life cycles for decades, if required. Now the average length of the lithography process technology Intel lifecycle - twelve years, the company still produces 65-nm products, although it has, and samples of silicon wafers with 10 nm products.
