I've been buying dip AMD since mid-2023 hoping that the Xillinx acquisition would finally pay off... eventually, it will. I'm certain of it ;-(



With the chiplet future here, some interconnect expertise should really really help all the chips.

Hoping to heck we see AMD not rest on the laurels & get good at CXL, start offering on chip UCE Ethernet and UALink interconnect. Also would really like to see on-package USB4 80Gbps; AMD really lead the way with getting good at IO and allowing users to reuse lanes as either PCIe or SATA or uh what was that third... Continuing to offer robust io is something Xilinx folks should be excellent at.

And yeah they should hopefully have a significant cellular revenue stream too! Grow that! It was neat seeing Lattice stop by the OCP EvenStar mailing list to promote their fpgas. Would be great to see similar outreach of Xilinx making visible motions to connect with & be in sync with our planet's better open source cellular efforts too. https://ocp-all.groups.io/g/ocp-evenstar/message/121

Also bring involved with software is required. Xilinx did great stuff with for example their bpf->fpga compiler nanotube, way before Intel's recent release of the p4->Tofino compiler Intel recently released (now that they are stepping away from Tofino, boo), https://github.com/Xilinx/nanotube

I'd love to see pushes into the software stack too. How can (another ex-Facebook effort, lol) Magma take advantage of & offload more and more to fpga, doing more cellular and more networking/smartnic? https://www.linuxfoundation.org/press/linux-foundation-conne...
