The Virtex UltraScale ASIC-class family provides the industry's only programmable path to
> 2X system level performance and integration with up to 50% power reduction, leveraging a combination of FPGA and production proven 3D IC technologies that provide customers an extra generation of value. The family is co-optimized with the Vivado® Design Suite and UltraFast™ design methodology for productivity, predictability and outstanding device utilization without performance degradation.  The family incorporates 32.75 Gb/s transceivers for chip-to-chip, chip-to-optics, and 28G backplanes, and features multiple integrated ASIC-class 100G Ethernet and 150G Interlaken cores. Xilinx® SmartCORE™ and LogiCORE™ solutions provide proven IP cores that address a broad spectrum of functional building blocks for UltraScale designs. UltraScale 20nm devices also offer a seamless footprint migration to future UltraScale 16 nm FinFET based devices.

"With the availability of the VU095 device, customers can start implementing their most demanding designs today," said Dave Myron, senior director of FPGA product management at Xilinx. "The addition of the Virtex UltraScale VU190 FPGA is a disruptive technology milestone that enables our customers to deliver highly integrated, ultra high performance systems a generation ahead of other alternatives."
