Agilex 5 + DG IP: High-Performance Edge Networking with Zero-Cost Ethernet Hard IP

In today’s AI-driven world, the demand for real-time, high-speed networking is more critical than ever. Whether you’re building next-gen Edge AI, 8K media pipelines, or low-latency cloud services, your system’s ability to handle massive data transfers with minimal CPU load can be a make-or-break factor.

Introducing the power combo of the Agilex 5 Sulfur FPGA from Intel and UDP/TCP Soft IP from Design Gateway – a breakthrough solution delivering 10 Gbps full-bandwidth performance while offloading communication protocol processing entirely from the CPU.

πŸ’‘ Why Does This Matter?

Most modern CPUs hit a throughput bottleneck when forced to process both application logic and communication protocols at 10 Gbps. With TCP/IP or UDP/IP stacks consuming excessive resources, the effective data transfer rate often drops below 30% of theoretical bandwidth – leaving performance on the table.

The Design Gateway UDP10G-IP steps in as a low-latency, resource-optimized protocol offload engine, shifting the workload to the FPGA’s fabric. Combined with the zero-cost integrated Ethernet Hard IP in Agilex 5, you now have a cost-effective, energy-efficient, and scalable networking platform.

πŸ”§ Key Benefits

βœ… Maximize Throughput: Reach full 10 Gbps speed for both send and receive operations
βœ… Reduce CPU Load: Eliminate protocol stack processing from your processor
βœ… Save Power: Lower system power consumption with efficient offloading
βœ… Easy Integration: Comes with complete documentation and ready-to-use reference design
βœ… Future-Proof: Ideal for Edge, Industrial, and High-Frequency Trading applications
