New ContributorPower consumption between Agilex3 and Microchip Polarfire FPGA
Microchip claim their FPGA has lower power consumption than SRAM based FPGA , no matter how advanced node used for Altera. is there an official feeback to those claim ? if customer design is battary powered and really care power consumption rather than fabric or tranciever performance, what is the advantage of Agilex 3 comparting to Microchip Smartfusion and Polarfire in power consumption. has Altera done any comparision regarding power consumption ? Any comparision data availalble to share?

Microchip FPGAs and SoC FPGAs consume up to 50% lower total power than competitive FPGAs. Our nonvolatile process delivers FPGA families that are live at power-up with minimal in-rush current, and significantly lower leakage than SRAM-based alternatives

Hello,
Above is the whitepaper of power comparison Agilex3 vs others

JimLHi Farabi,
Thanks for the info.
the link you shared does NOT have Microchip FPGA, who claim better power consumption than SRAM based FPGA. does Lattice have same power consumption with Microchip FPGA? if answer is no, then this paper can not address the Micrcohip claim.
the white paper is more about power consumption comparison between different SRAM based FPGA vendors family Altera and Lattice.

Hi Jim,
We dont have the whitepaper to response to Microchip claim yet. Maybe it will be established in future.
I can request to internal team to make a research on this.

Farabi
