New mid-range FPGA from Achronix delivers 12 Tbps of fabric bandwidth

Achronix Semiconductor announces the availability and shipment of its new mid-range FPGA AC7t800 FPGA, designed to address the rapidly growing needs of data-centric applications such as generative AI, DPUs and SmartNICs. With samples available and units already shipped to customers, the AC7t800 delivers the highest level of performance of any mid-range FPGA available in the market today. Features of the AC7t800 include: 2D network-on-chip (NoC) – 12 Tbps of bandwidth Machine learning processors (MLPs) – 32 x 32 bit fracturable to 4 x 4 bit (INT and FP) 112 Gbps SerDes (24 channels) 400G Ethernet (2 channels) PCIe Gen5 ×16 1.86 Tbps of external memory bandwidth "The rise of generative AI applications is fundamentally reshaping the demand for back-end Ethernet server connectivity, particularly for training large language models and AI server clusters," said Baron Fung, Senior Research Director at Dell’Oro Group. "The Achronix Speedster AC7t800 addresses this rapidly expanding market by providing the high-throughput, low-latency performance required for SmartNICs and DPUs. As Ethernet-based solutions gain traction in AI and cloud environments, the AC7t800 is well-positioned to support the scale-out of AI infrastructure — a critical driver in the Ethernet network adapter market's projected growth to $16 billion by 2028." The AC7t800 supports th...
