gollark: Practically speaking you probably want tasks like "text editor" and "messaging program".
gollark: FPGAs are unsuited for the sort of general purpose responding-to-events-and-doing-some-wide-range-of-things tasks which practical computer things involve.
gollark: CPUs are mostly fine. Maybe with FPGAs onboard for accelerating some tasks, like how we use GPUs.
gollark: Not everything can be redone in the RAM-limited combinatorial-logicky way.
gollark: For the tasks computers do, which would probably be nontrivial to rework with the very different capabilities of FPGAs, CPUs on dedicated silicon can't be beaten *by* FPGAs.
