Product and Financial Highlights December Quarter

Xilinx introduced the Reconfigurable Acceleration Stack, with a goal to enable mainstream adoption of FPGAs in the data center. Target applications include machine learning, video transcoding and big data analytics. Designed for cloud scale applications, the stack provides the fastest path to realize up to 40x better compute efficiency with Xilinx FPGAs compared to x86 server CPUs and up to six times the compute efficiency over competitive FPGAs.

Xilinx unveiled details for new 16nm Virtex UltraScale FPGAs with HBM and CCIX technology. Containing the highest memory bandwidth available, these HBM-enabled FPGAs offer 20X higher memory bandwidth relative to a DDR4 DIMM and 4X less power per bit versus competing memory technologies. This product family is architected to support compute acceleration in the data center, high data rate Ethernet connectivity, 8K Video, and radar systems.

Xilinx announced that Amazon Web Services (AWS) is deploying Xilinx 16nm UltraScale FPGAs in the new Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (Amazon EC2) F1 instance type, accelerating genomics, financial analytics, video processing, big data, security, and machine learning inference workloads.
