> Engineering sample silicon for Agilex 27 FPGAs is expected in the second half of 2027. That's not even a paper launch at this stage.

Likely shipping w/o the proper documentation to enable nextpnr and similar tools, as it's tradition in altera. I will always choose the vendors that do things properly, when they're even an option.

Fantastic chip, I love everything about this announcement.

Hopefully the hard NOC is good this time around. The limitations of the previous series made it mostly useless.

Can anyone comment on Altera since they have escaped from Intel ? And how it fares again Xilinx / AMD? My old perception was still based on pre AMD Xilinx era from 4-5 years ago and Xilinx was basically winning 60-70% market shares as Intel Altera was no where near competitive. ( As usual with any Intel acquisition)
