Bittware AX-840p | AMD Xilinx Versal Premium FPGAs |dual PCIe 5.0 | 400G networking

The Bittware AX-840p embodies AMD Xilinx Versal ACAPs FPGAs, which integrate networked, power-optimized cores on an adaptable platform for the most challenging compute and networking applications.

7nm Architecture: Versal Premium architecture combines high bandwidth and compute density on an adaptable platform. The latest generation 7nm architecture combines adaptable compute engines with a breadth of hardened memory and interfacing technologies for superior performance/watt over competing 10nm FPGAs.

PCIe Gen5 Support: Data transfer speeds 2x faster than Gen4, and high-speed interface between CPUs and workload accelerators. This provides greater performance capabilities to developers of PC interconnect, graphics adapters, and chip-level communications.

Enterprise-class for Deployment: The AX-840p is built on BittWare’s enterprise-class foundation stones: existing products and processes that are already proven through extensive validation. When it’s time to ramp to production, this means a faster turnaround and utilizing the same hardware you have been using for development.
