Comparison between DDR2 controller and high performance controller

I would appreciate if someone can explain the feature difference between the two IPs or point me to a resource for same. I am referring to the ones described in here: http://www.altera.com/litera...

What's your intended target hardware? Besides Stratix II/II GX no FPGA family is supported by both IPs. So you most likely don't have a choice at all.

Generally, the DDR2HP core is involving a higher level interface with more data buffering and width/speed translation, as required by a typical application.
