the world's first PCI Express product at the Fall 2002 Intel Developer
Forum's Technology Showcase being held at the San Jose Convention
Center, Station #P29, from September 9th -12th. Developed in collaboration
with Intel and Agilent, the demonstration uses Xilinx's recently
announced RealPCI Express intellectual property core to transport
streaming video between two personal computers. The demonstration
illustrates the immediate viability of PCI Express technology to
enable the rapid deployment of PCI Express-based systems. For complete

"Xilinx is pleased to be collaborating with industry leaders
Intel and Agilent to accelerate the industry-wide transition from
PCI to PCI Express," said Per Holmberg, director of marketing
for Programmable Systems at Xilinx. "By using the programmability
and serial transceiver capability of the Virtex-II Pro device, Xilinx
was able to develop our core and this demonstration in parallel
with our participation in the definition of the specification underscoring
the capability and benefits of programmable systems."
About the Demonstration
The demonstration shows the promise of PCI Express technology, which
is intended to maximize the performance and feature quality for
high-performance workstations and consumer gaming devices. The demonstration
is protocol and electrically compatible to the v1.0 base PCI Express
specification as outlined by the PCI-SIG and uses the proven Rocket
I/O™ 3.125 Gbps serial transceivers of Xilinx Virtex-II Pro
FPGA - the only device available on the market capable of implementing
the PCI Express specification. Conference attendees can view the
video on monitors attached to two PCs connected by standard InfiniBand™
