EETimes has news on Xilinx and their new integrated cores which are built inside the FPGA fabric:
SAN JOSE, Calif. — In an effort to move deeper into high-speed networking gear, Xilinx Inc. this week will roll the first batch of FPGAs that pack embedded PowerPCs and serial I/O transceivers running at 3.125 Gbits/second. Xilinx plans to incorporate up to four CPU cores and 16 transceivers on the same die, making the new family the most ambitious FPGA design since the launch of the company's popular Virtex line.
...A second major innovation is the inclusion of I/O transceivers that can scale from 622 Mbits/s to 3.125 Gbits/s. Four of these transceivers can be channel bonded to make a single 10-Gbit/s pipe, which would suit the Virtex-II Pro for ultrafast Internet backbones that connect to a final optical driver. "There's nothing in the world that is out there or on the drawing board that we can't connect to," said Willem Roelandts, president and chief executive of Xilinx, based here.
Lets hope we see this kind of performance over the net soon...read more here.
