Absolutely, but I quoted shelf price. Volume pricing can be anywhere between 30-80% less than that. Agilex 5 equivalent is ~$900 and much the same for the Ultrascale+ equivalent, so Lattice is the most competitive on cost.

CertusPro-NX has I/O Configuration in about 4 ms and full fabric config within 30 ms (for ~100 K logic cell device). Certus, full‑device configuration within ~ 8 ms.

Lattice make some really cool devices. Not the fastest fmax speeds, but hell if the time to config and tiny power draw don't half make up for it.

Part of why Lattice Semi has been so successful in recent years is they've broken the paradigm slightly in that their FPGAs are much most cost-effective, while still coming with all of the things we expect of FPGAs. Lots of high-speed IO, half decent software, and a pretty broad IP portfolio. Something like the Certus-NX comes in at ~$5 at the 17k LUT count, and Avant only ~$550 at the 600k LUT mark. That's almost a 1/4 or more of what the equivalent Xilinx or Altera device goes for. There's very little licensing cost too, which make them really appealing. I see them going into so many designs now because they can scale. You'd have to be making 100Ks+ of boards to justify the ASIC expense when there's a commodity product like it.

FD-SOI fabs are lacking. It's a planar transistor technology used frequently in very low power/thermal devices with small packages and with a high SEU tolerance. Lattice semiconductor use them in their FPGAs, which are the lowest power draw FPGAs on the market at the moment, with a really flat power curve all the way up to 125C. They're used everywhere in A&D and industrial, as root-of-trust devices on servers, and are the largest FPGA manufacturer by volume.

Currently it's fabbed in France (STMicro), Germany (GF), and South Korea (Samsung). No plans to onshore that in the US.

I work in the FPGA industry, and it's a running joke that the best device manufacturer at any one time if the one with the best SERDES and PHY team.

You can have the best fabric in the world with all of the best IP, but if you can't get information on the device and off again to do anything useful, then what's the point (looking at you Intel F-Tile).
