Am I missing something about the definition of the word "comprehensive"? How can you call a list comprehensive and ignore Altera/Intel? Last I checked they were the biggest FPGA player in town. I have three devkits within arms reach that aren't on this list.

- xodjmk 4y agoAfter Intel took over Altera, the focus has switched primarily to Data Center processing. Just look at both AMD/Xilinx and Intel/Altera websites and you can see a big difference. If you are a Data Center Engineer than Altera is probably a good match. But AMD/Xilinx has a more diverse focus, specifically video, robotics and AI inference. Altera and Xilinx were about 50/50 competitors for many years and I think that was always healthy competition. Now that they've both been bought out, the future of FPGAs was very tenuous. In my opinion AMD has done a much better job at maintaining and even improving FPGA technology.
