40-nm FPGAs: Architecture and Performance Comparison

This white paper provides benchmarking data showing Altera Stratix IV FPGAs are 35 percent faster than Virtex-5 FPGAs, and detailed architectural analysis demonstrating that the Stratix IV FPGA's basic logic element packs 1.8X more logic than that of Virtex-5 FPGAs, all in addition to the provided 8-Gbps transceivers.
