Yeah, this seems like the exact same problems that we already have with FPGAs. 1. They're really hard to program for in a way that is easy to understand and scale. 2. They eat a ton of power. Heat = power = max speed. If you can't make it better then today existing ASICs are still going to be used. The intersection of ASIC + reconfigurable serial processes(aka sequential programming) strikes a really sweet point between power and flexibility that I think is going to be hard to unseat. I think FPGAs are incredible but if this were true I think we'd already see them taking over the world.
