I used to work in the FPGA industry, and we had quite a few people looking at trying to do hardware acceleration of stuff currently done on CPUs. In short, it is hard.

There are plenty of suppliers who offer stuff in the market, for example replacing one half of a dual CPU system with an FPGA and in general some variant of 'pick a fast interconnect and stick an FPGA at the end'

I can't see why this offers anything more to the discussion over a product announcement.
