I understand the complex nature of FPGA is a product of it's versatility, a trade off. But despite of it, I still consider thst these products are overpriced. There's need of more aggressive and diverse competition.
ASIC is cool, but a lot more difficult to manage and very expensive manufacturing unless you enter the economics of scale universe. Many producrs rely on FPGA due to thus, but specialized in premium high end equipment or enthusiasts.
Cheaper and more open FPGAs would help the industry, a lot more innovation and learning tools everywhere.
