• GPUs (graphics processing units) for visual computing and AI workloads
• Chipsets and system-on-chip (SoC) solutions
• FPGAs (field-programmable gate arrays) through its Altera division
• Networking and connectivity components for data centers and telecom
• Memory and storage technologies, including SSDs

Intel also develops AI accelerators and edge computing hardware, supporting high-performance and data-driven applications.

Intel serves multiple industries that rely on high-performance computing, data processing, and connectivity.

Intel’s main industries include:

• Consumer electronics (laptops, desktops, and personal devices)
• Data centers and cloud computing
• Artificial intelligence and machine learning
• Automotive and autonomous systems
• Industrial and Internet of Things (IoT)
• Telecommunications and 5G infrastructure

These industries depend on Intel for scalable computing power, reliability, and real-time performance.

Intel is known for its industry-leading processor and computing product lines used across consumer, enterprise, and industrial applications.

Key Intel product lines include:

• Intel Core - processors for consumer laptops and desktops
• Intel Xeon - processors for servers and data centers
• Intel FPGA (Altera) – customizable programmable logic solutions
• Intel Cyclone - cost optimized FPGA’s for low-power applications
• Intel Arria - FPGAs for mid-range performance and efficiency
• Intel Stratix - FPGAs for high-performance and data-intensive applications
• Intel MAX 10 - FPGAs for low power and integrated nonvolatile applications
• Intel Agilex - FPGAs for high performance and advanced heterogeneous applications

A Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a programmable semiconductor device that engineers can configure after manufacturing to perform custom hardware functions. Unlike CPUs or GPUs, FPGAs process data in parallel, making them ideal for high-speed computing, AI acceleration, telecommunications, aerospace, industrial automation, and embedded systems.

An FPGA works by using programmable logic blocks and configurable interconnects that engineers customize using hardware description languages (HDLs) such as VHDL or Verilog. This architecture allows the FPGA to process multiple operations simultaneously for real-time performance and low latency.

FPGAs are used in:

• AI and machine learning acceleration
• Telecommunications infrastructure
• Industrial automation
• Aerospace and defense systems
• Automotive electronics
• Video and image processing
• Embedded computing applications

The difference between an FPGA and a CPU is architecture. CPUs execute instructions sequentially, while FPGAs process data in parallel using customizable hardware logic. This makes FPGAs faster for specialized workloads like AI inference, signal processing, and real-time computing.

CPLDs are optimized for simpler control logic and predictable timing, while FPGAs provide higher logic density and advanced parallel processing for complex applications.

ASICs are custom-built for a specific application, delivering maximum performance, power efficiency, and unit cost optimization at high volumes, while FPGAs offer reprogrammability, faster development cycles, and greater design flexibility for evolving or lower-volume applications.

As a full line supplier, we specialize in sourcing obsolete and hard to find electronic components for your projects.

After we receive your request submission, one of our account executives will reach out to your team to gather more information about your project requirements and ensure we tailor the order to your needs.

Once requirements such as date codes, quantities, target prices, testing requirements, and more are discussed, our purchasing team will secure stock through Microchip USA’s direct access to manufacturing partners’ excess inventory lists.

Our operations teams will handle logistics and fulfillment to ensure supply chain continuity, and our support team will provide clear communication throughout the process.

Our net terms for electronic component sourcing are flexible and vary by order. Our account executives will work with you to ensure our terms meet your company’s needs. We also offer scheduled shipments and inventory management solutions to ensure a steady supply of electronic components, maintain cash flow, and maximize warranty periods. We always offer a warranty on all tested parts. See our sales terms and conditions for more information.
