Product and Financial Highlights
Xilinxs 28nm product family significantly surpassed $200 million in sales during the March quarter, setting a PLD industry record. Introduced in 2011, the 28nm node is the broadest product family ever offered by Xilinx with innovative new products such as Zynq SoCs and 3D ICs. As a result, this node is driving success across multi-markets as well as a much longer and more profitable sales ramp than any product in Xilinxs history.
Xilinx and Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced the General Availability of Virtex UltraScale+ FPGAs in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud F1 instances. F1 provides programmable hardware acceleration with FPGAs and enables users to optimize their compute resources for the unique requirements of their workloads.

The PLD Industrys most successful All Programmable SoC, Xilinxs Zynq family, surpassed 10% of sales in the recently ended March quarter, achieving a new record.
