It would be so cool if microprocessors went the Linux route and the best in class were created from open source projects.

Well one can dream.

FPGAs are nowhere near as fast as the equivalent ASIC, not to mention the toolchains are an utter disaster. There’s a very narrow window in which they’re useful, which certainly doesn’t include anything meant to be best in class.
