I think that with architecture design becoming increasingly important in processor performance, and on the heels of Intel-Altera, CPUs or GPUs may gradually add "FPGA-like" aspects, where the configuration of the silicon can be dynamically shifted in order to achieve different tasks.
Personally, I would love to see a day when FPGA coprocessors are a thing, and FPGA companies are big enough to make it happen.
- wfunction 11y agoThere are apparently already a thing (Xeon processors with FPGAs seem to have come out a while ago).
- listic 11y agoXeon processors with FPGAs have been announced over a year ago [1] (June 2014) and we haven't heard any details or exact dates since then.
