Why Xilinx Embedded processor did not be continued?

Oveis.Gharan · Jul 30, 2014

Dear all,
I have seen that after Virtex-5 , Xilinx has stopped to embedded hard core into its next FPGA Families?
Is there anyone who know the reason? Wasn't it an optimum approach? Is soft core processor more efficient and popular than hard core?

Thanks in advance.

I think the market and demand for PowerPC cores have dropped massively. Now they use ARM for their ZYNQ chips.

Are Zynq series FPGAs available for sale? I could not find them in stokes like Avnet and Mouser!

Yes they are and even in form of mirorzed board

I have seen the Zynq-7000 Evaluation oard but i have not seen the chip alone! Dear tiwari.aditya13 , could you please show me where could i find it?
Thanks in advance.

I see XC7Z010-1CLG400C on catalog distributor stock, e.g. at digikey.

Avnet has 1000's of them in stock if you can purchase through a distributor.
