Take a look at the Arria II X family.

Do not get confused by the Altera naming structure.

In order to get the RocketIO function in an Altera part, you will need something with a "GX" in the name.

Maybe the 125 or the 190 will do - it depends on the number of internal Registers or LE's you arte looking for.

You could also look at the newer Cyclone IV GX family - it all depends on how much of what (LE, F/F, Multipliers, IO, Transceivers, Memory) you need.

I hope this helps.
