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? ;-)
