I do work with FPGA's as well. The tool chains are a lot more tightly coupled to the device. Also IP tends to uses chip specific features a lot of times to get better performance or space utilization. So it's a lot harder to justify a switch. AMD's CPUs cover the cases of what intel provides 99% of the time.
