Since 90 nm, Moore’s Law offers diminishing performance increase, requires architectural changes: Bigger LUTs, dedicated hard cores, microprocessors and transceivers. Virtex-5 had excellent start in 2007 In 2008: Virtex-5 FXT. PPC440 with attached 5 x 2 Crossbar for performance and flexibility. GTX Transceivers achieve 6.5 Gbps data throughput. After 2008 through 2013: 45 nm...
