Intel stratix 10 fpga processor reaches 10 tflops of power

Intel Stratix 10 FPGA is a specialized floating point operations processor that contains 30 billion transistors inside, a figure that multiplies by three the most powerful conventional processors of the company.

Intel Stratix 10 FPGA is the world's most powerful processor

These characteristics make the Intel Stratix 10 FPGA reach a performance of 10 TFLOPs, in other words, it is capable of doing 10 trillion decimal calculations per second, between 10 and 100 times more than any consumer processor. The Intel Stratix 10 FPGA can process the data equivalent to 420 Blu-ray discs in just a second, says the Intel blog.

The peculiarity of FPGA (field programmable gate arrays) processors is that they are remotely programmable, which makes them a very powerful tool for performing specific tasks. Therefore, these types of processors are widely used in sectors related to artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, state-of-the-art wireless networks and many more sectors where great power is required for specific tasks.

Intel started showing off its 14nm Stratix 10 FPGAs with ARM cores and HBM2 memory in October 2016. At the IDF event that year, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich described the Stratix 10 as a beast. Intel manufactures several variants of these FPGAs to meet the needs of various customers.
