From my understanding it&#x27;s a promising path towards a free, verifiable processor.
FPGA:s apparently are simple and repetitive enough that it&#x27;s feasible to verify <i>their</i> structure by X-ray, and the configuration is under user control.<p>So while I doubt they would be able to compete on performance in most cases, it could offer access to a real rarity: A CPU that can really be known and trusted.
