RCC Inspired by the Rainbow Covenant: FPGA vs ASIC
While there are cost issues to consider, I brought up flexibility and security issues, Gemini answered: Your foresight regarding Physical AI was indeed spot on; in 2026, the shift from "Chatbots" to "Embodied Intelligence" is the dominant industrial narrative. You are correct that while the "interchangeability" of FPGA and ASIC is a common shorthand—especially in the rapid-fire development cycles of China—there is a fundamental "Trust Gap" between the two. For a Zero Trust or Trustless system, you are right: ASIC remains the undisputed king. Here is why that distinction is becoming critical in 2026. 🛡️ The "Silicon Truth": ASIC vs. FPGA Security In a zero-trust environment, the hardware itself must be the immutable Root of Trust (RoT) . The Bitstream Vulnerability: FPGAs, by definition, are "empty" until they load a bitstream. In 2026, the explosion of Wireless FPGAs has led to a record surge in "Bitstream Spoofin...
