Microsoft's FPGA Translates Wikipedia in less than a Tenth of a Second

I found this pretty impressive. I wonder if this is why Intel bought Altera or if they are not working together on this? Ulpp! Seak and yea shall find.... "Microsoft is using so many FPGA the company has a direct influence over the global FPGA supply and demand. Intel executive vice president, Diane Bryant, has already stated that Microsoft is the main reason behind Intel's decision to acquire FPGA-maker, Altera." #Microsoft's #FPGA Translates #Wikipedia in less than a Tenth of a Second I guess this will only steer the FPGA market more in the direction of larger and faster rather than giving us much at the low end of energy efficient and small FPGAs. That's where I like to live. -- Rick C

The content is that they are building very much faster servers as well as much lower power. What other content would you like to see? The development is not done but it is pretty clear they are on to something significant. No?

It could be that it was merely translating from wiki markup to HTML
