I think low latency is the main thing. In most cases, to get an FPGA that's faster in terms of compute than a GPU/CPU you're going to have to spend probably hundreds of thousands (which the military do, e.g. for radar and that sort of thing).

But even a very cheap FPGA will beat any CPU/GPU on latency.
