Performance and price are not the only characteristics that might be important for a project. In the aerospace industry microsemi has a large market share with their range of rad-hard/-tolerant FPGAs.

Are rad-hard CPUs going to generate billions in sales to replace intel and AMD gear?

For the market segment we are talking about there is exactly 2 actual choices.

A large market share in the aerospace doesn’t translate into a large market share.

I think most people know that there are more than 2 FPGA suppliers, but all the other ones are essentially niche or low-end market players.

The moment you’re looking at FPGAs with a serious amount of logic, you’re restricted to Intel and Xilinx.

Microsemi is no more. They got purchased by Microchip.
