> Engineering sample silicon for Agilex 27 FPGAs is expected in the second half of 2027.
That's not even a paper launch at this stage.

Can anyone comment on Altera since they have escaped from Intel ? And how it fares again Xilinx / AMD?
My old perception was still based on pre AMD Xilinx era from 4-5 years ago and Xilinx was basically winning 60-70% market shares as Intel Altera was no where near competitive. ( As usual with any Intel acquisition)

Hopefully the hard NOC is good this time around. The limitations of the previous series made it mostly useless.

Likely shipping w/o the proper documentation to enable nextpnr and similar tools, as it's tradition in altera.
I will always choose the vendors that do things properly, when they're even an option.
