The Arria 10 GX can do up to 16x 30Gbps transceivers and 96x 17Gbps transceivers - I can't imagine they'd turn off all of these, since that is the selling point.



The question is where are they broken out? If at all? A bunch will be used for the QPI/KPI interface, but how many will get broken out to play with in the real world? If the slides are correct, 8x will be broken out as PCIe so that's something I guess. But not very much. Which is kind of the point I'm making. FPGA's are great I/O processor devices, but if you can't access the I/O, then that use case is toast.
