    Maybe I'm just old, but it seems to me "new" in the FPGA world is not very = inspiring. I guess I'm really saying I don't know diddly about '=E2=80=9CR= =E2=80=9D transceiver tiles', CXL v2.0, or "hardened time-sensitive network=
    controllers". =20

    Yup, I'ma gittin' old.=20

    Maybe I'm just old, but it seems to me "new" in the FPGA world is not very inspiring. I guess I'm really saying I don't know diddly about '“R” transceiver tiles', CXL v2.0, or "hardened time-sensitive network controllers".

    I think the FPGA market has bifurcated into (at least) two quite distinct markets:

    - the small, low cost, low power segment, where people want a programmable
    chip of the scale of a small CPU like a Z80 or an m68k, maybe in a small
    package like a BGA256. Quite a lot of crossover with CPLDs.
    - the server/etc market where the chips are as complex, expensive and power
    hungry as a modern Xeon

    Since being bought by Intel, Altera seemingly have pushed strongly towards
    the latter - not terribly surprising given it's Intel.

    For the former, I think we increasingly have to look away from Altera and Xilinx and towards the smaller players like Lattice and Microsemi, and maybe some of the Chinese firms.
