Intel® Quartus® Prime Software Suite
The Intuitive High-Performance Design Environment.
Overview
The revolutionary Intel® Quartus® Prime Design Software includes everything you need to design for Intel® FPGAs, SoCs, and complex programmable logic device (CPLD) from design entry and synthesis to optimization, verification, and simulation. Dramatically increased capabilities on devices with multi-million logic elements are providing designers with the ideal platform to meet next-generation design opportunities.
More details are available in the Quick-Start for Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software and the Getting Started User Guide: Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition.

What’s New in 21.1
Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software v21.1 supports the newest FPGA family:
Intel® Agilex™ FPGAs
The Intel® Agilex™ FPGA family leverages heterogeneous 3D system-in-package (SiP) technology to integrate Intel’s first FPGA fabric built on 10 nm SuperFin Technology and 2nd Generation Intel® Hyperflex™ FPGA Architecture to deliver up to 45% higher performance (geomean vs. Intel® Stratix® 10)1 or up to 40% lower power1 for applications in Data Center, Networking, and Edge compute. Intel® Agilex™ SoC FPGAs also integrate the quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 processor to provide high system integration.
The Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software v21.1 is an intuitive design environment that will help you meet your power and performance requirements and reduce your overall development effort. Features in the v21.1 release include:
- Improvements for Intel® Agilex™ FPGA power, performance, runtime, memory, and logic utilization
