The newest generation of FPGAs from Xilinx is the Series 7. It consists of three families each targeting specific price/performance spaces. The Artix-7 family addresses low cost, low power, high volume applications. The Kintex-7 family offers a 2X boost in performance over the Virtex-6 devices. Virtex-7 offers the highest performance of the three families with twice the performance and twice the resources of the Virtex-6.
All Series-7 devices feature low-power 28 nm process technology to implement up to 3.1 Tbits/sec of I/O and over 2 million logic cells. They provide up to 6.7 TMACs of DSP resources, especially important for software radio applications. Because of new process technologies and other power management schemes, they consume half the power of Virtex-6 for a given function.
