Looks more like adefensive move against ARM. For big (BIIIG) customers
like Microsoft, Google, or a financial shop, that kind of manic
optimization may make sense (and those same customers would have the
pull and money to order a custom SoC with an ARM core if they wanted).
Cute technically... but unless you are one of the few budding skynets,
designing the FPGA is the costly hurdle. And if you do a sloppy job,
what kind of optimization is it? ;-)

Just so I'm clear here... Intel wants us to give up searching for a
solution to our DataCenter problems and come back to the farm... and
all it will cost us is an FPGA... if I wanted to program FPGAs, I
don't need a Xeon to go along with it!
