XL/XLA vs. 10KA Relative Performance XLA-07 is faster than 10KA,B,E-1 in 90% of designs ! XLA-07 As shown above, the 4000XL-08 devices (available NOW) are equivalent to Altera’s 10KA-1 devices (50% designs faster than Altera, 50% slower than Altera). The 4000XLA-07 devices (available in November) will significantly out-perform Altera’s 10KA-1 devices in over 90% of designs!!

XC4000X Reduces Power Consumption by 50% to 70%

XV4000X vs. 10K Power Xilinx’s XLA and XV architectures have significant power consumption advantages over Altera’s 10KA devices. Be aware that Altera continues to compare their newest architectures to Xilinx’s older architectures. Xilinx beats the 10K with our 4000XL. We beat their 10KA with the 4000XLA. We will beat their 10KE with our 4000XV when the 10KE becomes available. XC4000XL=1
