- bsder 12y agoExactly. It's not that an FPGA is better, more flexible, faster, etc. It's that you don't have the money for the NRE on an ASIC. That is EXACTLY the reason to use an FPGA. I use them all the time for projects like that. This is different from the software people who want a magically flexible brain for generic tasks.
