Altera Cyclone 10 First chips

--- Quote Start ---

OK, maybe I did some wishfull thinking when I read this:

From www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1330325, 'Intel to Accelerate Altera, Says CEO':

'Kraznich promised “no changes in existing or planned products” using ARM cores.'

We had the same comment from our distributor and our FAE. They say Intel is already a big user of ARM cores, and does plan to develop more FPGAs with ARM cores in the middle range. Only time will tell if this is true or if it's a marketing trick.

It doesn't look like there will be a C10 SoC anytime soon (or ever). My guess is that Cyclone V SoC is still the low cost option if you need to use ARM

Let's say: The ARM is already on the die (of the 10 GX), it is only a marketing decision if it is offered to the customers ;)

Talking about marketing: Does anybody already know how the pricing will be compared to other Altera families?

For those who are interested:

Our distributor seems to have some early Cyclone 10 LP devices. Mouser do list them as well:
