Xilinx puts multicore on FPGA

Two ARM Cortex-A9 cores on 28nm FPGA

Xilinx is putting a multicore processor architecture onto its next generation of FPGA. The Extensible Processing Platform is a single chip that combines two 800MHz ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processor-based subsystems with 28nm FPGA fabric to add extra functions for system and ASIC protoyping.
This is a significant change, as it provides embedded systems designers
