Considering the Z7000 series FPGA, yes there are many use cases where this is much better than any Cpu or GPU. it's a really uncommon use case though, and the best use for this board is probably as a developer board for ASICs with ARM IP cores.
The benefit of the FPGA, though is that you can use it to add whatever peripherals or even coprocessors you want for your specialized application.
It would be awesome to see a 10gbit fiber optic Phy on it.
- zhemao 13y agoI think he was asking about the 16-core co-processor, not the FPGA.
- akiselev 13y agoThe reply above explained it better. Intel CPUs are the equivalent to the ARM CPUs in the GPU solution and the big benefit of the FPGA is feeding data into the 64 core chip without being constrained to PCIe. (The FPGA has DSP cores too so it'll be able to feed processed data from sensors faster than an equiv Intel would).
