Hopefully not headed for a glorious Thermopylae

AMD has lifted the kimono on its Spartan UltraScale+ FPGA family -- the latest addition to the huge range of AMD Cost-Optimised FPGAs and adaptive SoCs.

The range is apparently designed to provide cheap and power-saving performance for a wide range of applications that need lots of I/O at the edge. AMD brags that the Spartan UltraScale+ devices offer the industry's best I/O to logic cell ratio in FPGAs built in 28nm and lower process technology.

AMD claims it delivers up to 30 per cent less power use than the previous generation and has the most robust security features.

AMD Adaptive and Embedded Computing Group boss Kirk Saban said that for more than 25 years, the Spartan FPGA family has helped power some of humanity's finest achievements, from life-saving automated defibrillators to the CERN particle accelerator, which is pushing the limits of human knowledge.
