Xilinx tackles FPGA power with 28nm Series-7

Scalable from low to high density with 28nm Virtex-7, Kintex-7, and Artix-7 families

Xilinx is tackling two of the key barriers to using FPGAs - power and cost. It is reducing the power consumption of its new 7 Series devices families by 50% over the previous generation and has developed an architecture that wil scale across three families, helping to reduce
