That's true, but the EPCS16 equivalent is M25P16, not M25PX16. The latter has beside 2.5V capability a different organization and other features.

The annoying point is that Altera is promoting 2.5V I/O voltage since years but didn't yet manage to provide 2.5V compatible serial flash devices in the lower MBit ranges.
