The 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).
