The Verdict

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

🧊
The Bottom Line
GPU wins

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