IA-720i

PCIe Gen5 Single-Width Card with Data Storage

IA-720i card

Compact Card with the Power of Agilex

The Intel Agilex 7 I-Series FPGAs are optimized for applications that are bandwidth intensive and require high performance processor interfaces.

  • 2nd-Generation HyperFlex Architecture: Up to 40 percent higher performance or up to 40 percent lower total power compared with Stratix 10 FPGAs.
  • 200G Networking and Data Storage: Configurable networking and on-card data storage support the most demanding bandwidth requirements.
  • PCIe Gen5: Data transfer speeds 2x faster than Gen4, and high-speed interface between CPUs and workload accelerators.

200G Networking and Data Storage

IA-720i provides up to 2x 200G to support demanding bandwidth requirements. Configurable networking support includes hard Ethernet media access control (MAC), physical coding sublayer (PCS), and forward error correction (FEC) for a range of speeds. Two M.2 slots support enterprise SSDs for data storage.

2nd Gen Intel® Hyperflex™ Architecture

Continuous improvements to Intel Hyperflex deliver improved performance compared to Stratix 10 device designs. The 2nd Gen architecture thus greatly improve the productivity of customers and reduce time-to-market.

PCIe Gen5

PCIe Gen5 supports data transfer speeds 2x higher than PCIe Gen4, providing greater performance capabilities to developers of PC interconnect, graphics adapters, and chip-level communications.

Generation 5.0

Double the Bandwidth!

Built with the latest PCIe Gen5 interface, the IA-720i can transfer up to twice the bandwidth of Gen4 devices.

Enterprise-class for Deployment

Ramp to product with the power of Molex

The IA-720i is built on BittWare’s enterprise-class foundation stones: existing products and processes that are already proven through extensive validation. When it’s time to ramp to production, this means a faster turnaround and utilizing the same hardware you have been using for development.

Flexible IO and Storage

With QSFP56 cages and SSD slots, the IA-720i offers a range of flexibility to meet your application needs:

  • Two QSFP56s provide up to 2x 200G with hard IP for 200/100/50/25/10 GbE links.
  • Two M.2 slots support enterprise SSDs for data storage. The SSD slots are connected to PCIe hard IP.
