I see that in ALTERA device, Some device has M9K blocks and some have M10K blocks, but not both. Can I Know the reason? and why exactly M9K in Arria V, and why not M10K instead of M9K.

Why 10 bits wide?

I guess a lot of memory is used to generate 32bit wide blocks - so the extra bits are wasted.

9 bits could be used for 8+parity.

10 bits doesn't seem to help much with ECC.

There must be a 'killer-ap' out there that needs it :-)
