A comment on Graph Processing on FPGAs: Taxonomy, Survey, Challenges. Parent comment
a) most applications don't need 7nm. S3 will do a custom ASIC for under $2M[1], and I've heard figures as low as $100K for a FPGA for ASIC conversion.
b) General purpose embedded CPUs with extended instruction sets are often fast enough for most purposes.
