Here's our take.

FPGA

Nice Pick

Developers should learn and use FPGAs when working on projects that demand low-latency, high-throughput processing, such as in telecommunications, aerospace, automotive (e

Pros

• g
• Related to: vhdl, verilog

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

GPU

Developers should learn about GPUs when working on applications that require high-performance parallel processing, such as video games, 3D modeling, real-time simulations, or data-intensive tasks like training machine learning models

Pros

• Understanding GPU architecture and programming (e
• Related to: cuda, opencl

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

These tools serve different purposes. FPGA is a platform while GPU is a hardware. We picked FPGA based on overall popularity, but your choice depends on what you're building.

The Bottom Line

FPGA wins

Based on overall popularity. FPGA is more widely used, but GPU excels in its own space.
