Altera Cyclone 10 First chips

Hi, does any one knows when we will be able to get hands on Cyclone 10 chips ?

We have project where this device will fit perfectly, since MAX10 is not big enough, and can't connect to 32b SDRAM

Any road map when it will be available ?

    I was a bit taken aback that there is no Cyclone 10 SoC in the lineup, is it your experience that the SoC version of the line is announced later ?

    We were just considering moving our system from NIOS to ARM, so it would be nice to know if these will continue to be provided on the Cyclone line.

    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

    faster LVDS, 32b SDRAM capability, hardware floating point, and so on.

    So, why look straight to Cyclone 10? There are plenty of other suitable devices, that are available. What do both Cyclone 10 and MAX 10 give you that Cyclone V doesn't? Small/midrange Cyclone V parts are quite a bit bigger than MAX 10...

    Intel will release a roadmap in their own time.

    Cheers,
