I think you misunderstand the knowledge that a distributor can possess.

Intel et al is particularly sensitive about not giving any key strategic info out without a signed NDA.

So even if a distributor got this info, they could not tell you.

We realize that customers choose to deploy with FPGAs because of the ability to be supported for 15 and frequently over 20+ years. With over 2.5 billion MAX® and Cyclone® FPGA devices sold, it’s important that our customers realize that they can continue to rely and design in confidence with these widely used FPGAs."
