What performance improvements have been made to the Cyclone III device family?
Because the 90-nm Cyclone II device family already offers three speed grades higher performance versus competing FPGA families, Altera chose to improve power, functionality, and cost for the Cyclone III device family and kept the core logic performance on par with the Cyclone II device family. Performance improvements have been made to the embedded multipliers, onboard memory, external memory interface, and I/O.
