Intel do have ARM+FPGA products already from Altera, as do Xilinx.

It will be interesting to see if Intel replaces the ARM CPU with a variant of x86.

Would anyone use it? I wouldn't. Intel's embedded offerings are weak and tend to get cancelled.

Yes, I've evaluated some of them too (great for some projects that need like a RPi but with custom digital / DSP logic), they're just not exactly mainstream as Xeon processors.

I have only used the original Xilinx one but ARM is pretty mainstream, the newest ones even have Mali GPUs.

I would expect a Xeon+FPGA to be at a very different price point from the ARM+FPGA devices, it will be interesting to see whether Intel carry on selling ARM ones or also produce an Atom+FPGA equivalent.
