SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc.
(NASDAQ:XLNX) today announced first customer shipment of the
industry's first 16nm multiprocessor SoC (MPSoC) a quarter ahead of
schedule. The early release of the Zynq® UltraScale+™
MPSoC enables Xilinx customers to begin designing and delivering
MPSoC-based systems today. Built using TSMC's 16FF+ process, the
Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC enables the development of
next-generation embedded vision, ADAS, I-IoT and communications
systems by providing 5X system-level performance/watt and
any-to-any connectivity with the security and safety required for
next-generation systems.

"TSMC's ongoing collaboration with Xilinx has resulted in the
early shipment of a world class 16nm FinFET multiprocessing SoC,"
said Dr. BJ Woo, TSMC vice president of Business Development.
"Xilinx and TSMC have clearly demonstrated and delivered
industry-leading silicon performance with the lowest power
consumption, and highest level of systems integration and
intelligence among all programmable logic products to date."
"The early delivery of our Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC 16nm device
extends our outstanding track record for total execution and
absolute quality. We call this a "Three-Peat" – being first to
market with leadership products at 28nm, 20nm, and now at 16nm,"
said Victor Peng, executive vice

About Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoCs
The Zynq UltraScale+
MPSoC is the industry's first heterogeneous multiprocessor SoC
(MPSoC) using TSMC's 16FF+ process. The new family enables
the development of flexible, standards-based platforms by providing
5X system-level performance/watt and any-to-any connectivity with
the security and safety required for next-generation systems. The
Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoCs combine seven user programmable processors
including a 64-bit quad-core ARM® Cortex™-A53 Application
Processing Unit, a 32-bit dual-core ARM® Cortex™-R5 Real Time
Processing Unit, and an ARM® Mali™-400 Graphics Processing Unit.
The family also includes a host of integrated peripherals, safety
and security features, and advanced power management. When coupled
with the SDSoC™ development environment, the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC
family enables systems that are both software defined and hardware
optimized.
Availability
Initial All Programmable Zynq UltraScale+
MPSoC devices are shipping now. General sampling begins in Q1,
