The facts
The four planned families are Agilex 27, 25, 23 and 22, spanning high-bandwidth processing, embedded systems and input/output-heavy applications. [1][2]
For Agilex 27, Altera lists third-generation HyperFlex architecture, its HyperFlow data network and planned PCIe 6.0/7.0 and high-speed Ethernet support. [1]
Altera claims a 1.8-fold improvement in performance per watt over the preceding Agilex 7 generation. The checked reporting does not independently benchmark that claim. [1][2]
The maker says Agilex 27 software support will reach early-access customers in mid-November. QuartusIQ is already downloadable through Quartus Prime 26.3; that software availability does not mean Agilex 27 silicon is shipping. [1]
Still unconfirmed
- Public chip pricing and general production availability were not announced.
