In the following video you can see the advantages of using an Field Programmable Gate Array FPGA (FPGA) Ever wondered how an F1 engine can cope with the massive high speed data transfers that are needed to run an engine at 18.000 rpm and run continuously updated circuit maps etc. though a telemetry system. It's a bit beyond a small CPU like the one found in your FC board. A CPU is used but it runs along side the FPGA. With the complexity of where MR's are heading maybe this is the direction that it might take......
