• | Altera and Micron Technology, Inc. have jointly demonstrated successful interoperability between Altera Stratix® V FPGAs and Micron’s Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC). This new capability will be delivered with Altera’s Generation 10 portfolio, which includes both Stratix 10 and Arria® 10 FPGAs and SoCs. HMC addresses the limitations imposed by conventional memory technology, and provides ultra-high system performance with significantly lower power-per-bit. HMC delivers up to 15 times the bandwidth of a traditional DDR3 module and uses 70 percent less energy and 90 percent less space than existing technologies. |
• | Altera is now shipping production-qualified Cyclone® V SoCs and engineering samples of its Arria V SoCs. These devices benefit from density, architectural, productivity and processor performance leadership, which enables Altera SoCs to target a very wide range of applications. In addition, Altera SoCs provide embedded developers with the highest productivity development tools. Featuring increased processor peak clock frequencies, these devices are the FPGA industry’s highest performing SoCs. Altera offers the industry’s broadest range of densities with its 28 nm SoCs, ranging from 25K logic elements (LE) up to 460K LE. This density range allows Altera SoCs to be integrated into a variety of embedded systems, ranging from cost-sensitive industrial automation and automotive driver assist systems to applications that require higher-performance, including remote radio units, 10G/40G line cards and broadcast studio equipment. |
• | Altera is collaborating with the China Mobile Research Institute (CMRI) to develop next-generation wireless networks based on the Centralized Radio Access Network (C-RAN) architecture. By centralizing the baseband processing of a large geographical area into the cloud, the cloud-based C-RAN architecture enables operators like China Mobile to reduce deployment and operating costs for their next-generation wireless infrastructure. Altera and CMRI are working together to debug and verify next-generation wireless systems based on the C-RAN architecture by leveraging Altera’s FPGA technology. Collaborating with the world’s largest cellular operator on C-RAN architecture development enables Altera to more effectively align its FPGAs, software and IP to meet next-generation wireless infrastructure requirements. |

(1) We define operating margin as gross margin less research and development expense, selling, general and administrative expense and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, as presented above. This presentation differs from income from operations as defined by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), as it excludes the effect of compensation associated with the deferred compensation plan obligations. Since the effect of compensation associated with our deferred compensation plan obligations is offset by losses/(gains) from related securities, we believe this presentation provides a more meaningful representation of our ongoing operating performance. A reconciliation of operating margin to income from operations follows: | ||||||||||||||||||||
