SAN JOSE, Calif., June 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc.
(NASDAQ:XLNX) today announced it has added streamlined dual-core
members to the Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC
family of devices. The new dual-core "CG" family members expand the
Zynq MPSoC portfolio scalability, to include dual application and
real-time processor combinations. These dual-core devices add
processing scalability at a lower cost entry point to the current
Zynq UltraScale+ family, which offers quad ARM®
Cortex®-A53s, dual Cortex-R5s, a graphics processing
unit, and a video codec unit. Designers can choose from three
device types within the scalable processing portfolio to address
processing requirements across a breadth of markets, including
motor control, sensor fusion, medical endoscopy, and handheld
radios.
