Artix^®-7 features high DSP bandwidth thanks to wider, more capable DSP slices, which have greater precision and performance than Spartan-6. Up to 931 Giga multiply-accumulates per second are possible at 629MHz. The Artix-7 DSP has 67% static power reduction and 53% dynamic power reduction over the Spartan-6 DSP. Artix-7 has improved resource utilization thanks to “on the fly” mode selection of adder, subtractor, or logic functionality. These DSP blocks are well-suited to computing sum of absolute difference, which is beneficial in applications like video motion estimation.
