Altera launches Stratix 10 FPGAs with HBM2 in tow

Intel subsidiary Altera has launched the Stratix 10 field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The Stratix 10 comprises 5.5 million logic elements, HBM2 memory, and a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor. Those components are joined together using what Altera dubs Heterogeneous 3D System-in-Package (SiP) integration. The upshot of this stack of acronyms is up to 10 TFLOPS of single-precision output and 10 Tbps of local memory bandwidth to go along with up to 30 Gbps of chip-to-chip capacity.
