Altera Corporation announced Agilex® 2X, a new FPGA portfolio spanning high-performance to power-optimized devices for intelligent systems including Physical AI at the edge and Digital AI infrastructure. The portfolio includes four families: Agilex 27, 25, 23, and 22, each targeting different performance-to-power points.
CEO Raghib Hussain said Agilex 2X provides one platform scaling from complex Digital AI and aerospace/defense systems to low-power intelligent edge. The unified Quartus® Prime software with Quartus IQ AI companion aims to accelerate time-to-market and protect engineering investments.
Key innovations include enhanced AI tensor DSP blocks, latest Arm cores, high-bandwidth connectivity, and end-to-end security. Agilex 27 FPGAs launch first, targeting Digital AI infrastructure, terabit networking, 6G/satellite networks, and aerospace/defense with 3rd-gen Hyper Flex fabric delivering 1.8X gen-over-gen performance improvement.
All families share common security foundations including post-quantum-cryptography-ready secure boot, Arm-based hard processors, Nios® V soft processors, and functional-safety practices, enabling reusable IP across the portfolio.
