FPGA speed is a common misconception. They often have run at quite modest frequencies, and come with limited memory capacity compared to a GPU at same price range.

Speed (clocks speed) , is dependent on your design layout, and for any resonably advanced layout, it takes lots of knowledge to push the clockspeed beyond 200Mhz on 'consumer'/prosumer models. (Compare to a few GHz for GPU/CPU).

FPGA speed shine where they can pipeline massively parallel calculations through pipelines with minimal lookups.
