Is FPGA considered as old technology in the presence of microcontrollers?

FPGA and microcontrollers serve different markets and solve different problems.

FPGAs range from just a few dollars, to the most expensive FPGAs costing tens of thousands of dollars [1], and require highly skilled & experienced hardware developers to develop applications for FPGAs. FPGA development companies always work hard to push boundaries and add new functionality to their FPGA. FPGA can be done in 1 second what will take a small cheap microcontroller one hour or a week to process.

Microcontrollers can cost under $ 1, range to microcontrollers & the most expensive SoCs cost tens of dollars, and can be programmed in high-level languages by people with very little experience and achieving fast results. Microcontroller companies always work hard to push boundaries and add new functionality to their microcontrollers. Microcontrollers find their way into countless applications that many people will not even think there are ‘small computers’ in them.

Both are ‘old’ in the sense that they have been in development for decades, but both are current, relevant, and advanced technology. They serve different markets and solve different problems.
