Adoption of Intel FPGAs for Acceleration of Enterprise Workloads Goes Mainstream

Today, Intel announced top-tier OEM adoption of Intel’s field programmable gate array (FPGA) acceleration in their server lineup. This is the first major use of reprogrammable silicon chips to help speed up mainstream applications for the modern data center. Intel® FPGAs are the foundation for a new type of data center with the versatility and speed to handle a variety of workloads, from analytics to financial services. With exponential data growth, data center operators have to balance the need for performance at scale with operational efficiency. To boost performance and power efficiency, data centers are adopting Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors to work in tandem with an accelerator to support data-intensive performance requirements within specific functions in a workload.
