 i have concern regarding the longevity of EP2C20F484C8N.  I don't know for how long intel will continue to support  this chip:EP2C20F484C8N.

will intel continue to support  EP2C20F484C8N for next 10 years  or is there  chip that currently has similar function as  EP2C20F484C8N  ?

Hi Haissam,

Thank you for contacting Intel Community.

EP2C20F484C8N is from the Cyclone II device family which was introduced in 2004. It currently in a mature phase and is NOT recommended for new designs. Although it won't be obsolete within these few years the life cycle is depending on its order volume.
