The following table shows the typical resource utilization information for selected configurations.

The resource usage is based on the Avalon® -ST IP core top-level entity (intel_pcie_ptile_ast) that includes IP core soft logic implemented in the FPGA fabric.

For details on the application clock frequencies that the IP core can support, refer to PHY Clock and Application Clock Frequencies.

1 Select the highest clock frequency to achieve maximum PCIe Gen4 bandwidth.
2 In this configuration, interface efficiency is traded off for lower interface width.
