"the niche for the FPGA has almost vanished." While Xilinx posts record quarterly profits and there are more FPGAs moved than ever before. But go on. Enlighten us... "There are very very very few compute tasks where an FPGA solves a problem with better performance per watt than both a CPU and a GPU." Oh right. Let me just slap those into my satellite, radio system, aircraft control system, military system, enmbedded system... How could I have not seen the light? "I would bet that emulating a RISC-V program on x64 is far more power efficient than running a RISC-V core on an FPGA for example." Hahahahahahaha. What size bet, chief? I need a new pair of shoes.
