Are ASICs dwindling because of FPGAs
Are ASICs dwindling because of FPGAs?

ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits) are semiconductor chips that are designed for a specific purpose. They are highly specialized and usually more expensive than generic components such as microprocessors or memory chips. For many applications, ASICs offer improved performance, lower power consumption, and a smaller form factor compared to generic components. FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate…
