> Of course, this flexibility comes at a cost: an FPGA is perhaps 50x more expensive than a feature-equivalent SoC and about 5-10x slower in absolute MHz
If an FPGA SoC of the same power is 250-500x more expensive - how many of the issues of proprietary SoC's become tolerable?
Wouldn't using a non SoC architecture - Processor + support chips become a better solution?
