Tell that to the people who think they will soon replace this expensive and complicated FPGA stuff with something running on a cheap MPU programmed by an intern. For thirty years now…
If you’re at a scale where making a new ASIC is your go-to, congratulations on your job at Google or Apple. I don’t even know if FaceMeta would do that. Designing and founding a new chip is a whole thing.
Is that controversial? I’ve always assumed people avoid FPGAs just because they’re unfamiliar with them.

Yikes.
Welcome to my world.
I think it’s because FPGAs are an intermediate to just making your own ASIC.

Agreed. If you’re not moving hundreds of thousands if units, there probably is no return in investment. Those things have expensive up front costs.
