Altera: Gartner Names Nios II Processor as FPGA Industry's Number One Soft Processor Core

(Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)
Altera said that its Nios II processor core is the FPGA industry's most
widely used soft processor based on design starts, as confirmed by the
market research firm Gartner in its most recent report "Market Trends:
ASIC Design Starts 2007."

Altera's Nios II processor core is a configurable, 32-bit FPGA-based
soft microprocessor that is used in a wide variety of applications and
end markets such as wireline, broadcast, military, wireless,
automotive, and consumer.

"We are pleased that Gartner confirmed what we have been seeing in the
marketplace," said Chris Balough, Altera's director of software and
embedded marketing. "Since its introduction, Altera has shipped over
20,000 Nios II development kits, and over 5,000 customers
worldwide-including the world's largest electronics OEMs-have adopted
Nios II embedded processors into their products. In as fast as a few
minutes, FPGA designers can build exact-fit processor systems with
custom-configured processor cores, peripherals, memory interfaces, and
custom hardware peripherals to meet the unique demands of their system."
