When you deliver an FPGA you’re normally also making your own hardware. That’s a big part of the FPGA porting cost, you have to redesign your boards. I don’t think the same is generally true in the x86 realm. Even if you’re specifically using some feature of the intel micro architecture it’s still essentially a code change rather than an full redesign.
