Agilex 9 seems a bit confusing having lower throughput than Agilex 7, anyone know why that is? From what I could find it's largely used for military RF applications, so maybe it hasn't been refreshed yet bc longer TTM, mature processes for analog and whatnot?
The 64Gsps ADC/DAC are actually very impressive and massive. If you need software defined radio then it's pretty hard to do a discrete version of agilex 9. It comes after the agilex 7. Making a large but simple chip isn't that hard. But making a smaller but more complex chip is more difficult
MAX10 has some really nice SOC features that aid in system integration (integrated Flash memory for CPLD startup emulation, single power supply operation, etc.). It will be interesting if Agilex 3 incorporates any of these features or if it will just be a standard cut down FPGA.
