What do you mean by "more specialized" ? FPGA's can implement any logic circuit whereas GPU's are optimized for highly parallel arithmetic computations. I don't understand how that makes FPGA's "more specialized". It seems like they are in fact more general.

You can't buy FPGAs at Fry's and you can't use them for gaming when you're not mining.

FPGA designs can be more specialized than GPU kernels, because FPGAs are more general than GPUs.
