Two months ago, Intel's field programmable array (FPGA) division gained structural independence following the example of Mobileye, since under Patrick Gelsinger it set a course to move beyond the organizational structure those businesses that are considered non-core for Intel from a historical point of view. retrospectives. Purchased in 2015, Altera has now reverted to its original name.
Until recently, the corresponding division of Intel bore the designation Programmable Solutions Group, two months ago it was transformed into a subsidiary company that is wholly owned by Intel, and this week the historical name of Altera was returned to this asset. It continues to be led by Sandra Rivera, and this year the company intends to attract investment in the stock market, thereby reducing the financial burden of parent corporation Intel. A full IPO should take place before the end of 2026, but Intel plans to retain a large stake in Altera. It is expected that Altera, which has gained more independence, will be able to expand its presence in the industrial solutions segment, in the automotive, aerospace and defense segments of the market. From the point of view of pricing policy, more attention will be paid to the release of low-cost programmable matrices and solutions in the mid-price range.
Sandra Rivera, in the context of returning Altera to its original name, emphasized that the company will actively develop and offer customers tailored programmable solutions, including artificial intelligence-enabled products that will find application in a wide range of industries, including telecommunications, industrial, automotive and defense, and also data center and cloud computing segments. The company promises to cover a market with a total capacity of $55 billion and offer customers programmable components with native support for artificial intelligence.
The currently available Agilex 9 matrices, for example, provide industry-leading data conversion speeds and can therefore be used in aerospace and military radar applications. Data centers can use programmable matrices Agilex 7 series F and I, which have twice the performance-to-power ratio of competing solutions. Agilex 5 matrices, which support artificial intelligence functions, are optimally suited for embedded solutions and edge computing. In the near future, matrices of the Agilex 3 series will appear on the market, which will combine low power consumption with an affordable price.
