Fpgas really only accelerate parallel workloads, sequential computation is done easier and just as good with a CPU.
Problem with massive parallelism becomes communication costs and spatial routing. Nothing is free.
More excited about commodity chips with 100s of cores. Rather have something that's easier to program with a faster dev cycle if I'm going to tackle parallelism.
