- fhars 7y agoThat depends a bit on whether you count the fabrication time for a new ASIC towards the application startup time when switching applications or not.
- ryacko 7y agoCertainly propagation delay is higher. But for many applications it is cheaper to implement them in software than ASICs. And besides, FPGAs are used for web scale applications, many of them applicable to small computers.
