DSP Performance Center
 Altera offers the industry's leading price and performance solutions for digital signal processing (DSP) applications. Altera's Stratix® FPGA series, ArriaTM GX FPGAs, and Cyclone® III FPGAs are enabling designs that demand premium DSP performance in areas such as video and image processing and high-speed digital communications while delivering the lowest-cost per channel. Altera® devices provide:
- 10x the DSP performance per dollar compared to the industry’s most widely used DSP processors
- 1.8x DSP performance advantage for high-density FPGAs—Altera's Stratix II FPGA vs. Xilinx’s Virtex-4 family
- 2x DSP performance advantage for low-cost FPGAs—Altera's Cyclone III FPGA vs. Xilinx’s Spartan-3 family
Detailed DSP Performance Benchmark Data and Analysis
There are a number of ways to measure the performance of different DSP solutions. A popular evaluation method is to choose a set of common DSP algorithms used in a variety of applications and compare the results across different platforms. Table 1 shows a list of benchmarks that were selected to cover a wide range.
