AMD will be putting Xilinx's AI FPGAs into CPUs from 2023

Following AMD’s acquisition of Xilinx, it was only a matter of time before we saw Sunnyvale’s products, such as CPUs and GPUs, take advantage of FPGA technology more massively. In fact, during the recent meeting with investors to talk about the earnings of the last quarter, AMD officially announced that in 2023 the first FPGA-equipped CPUs for Xilinx AI inference will arrive.

Even Intel has tried in the past, after its purchase of Altera, to make CPUs with integrated FPGAs, but at the moment no product has come on the market with these features.

Victor Peng, president of AMD's Adaptive and Embedded Computing group, said Xilinx already uses the AI ​​engine in image recognition and "all kinds" of inference applications in embedded applications and edge devices, such as cars, noting that the architecture is scalable, which makes it a good fit for the company's CPUs.
