Only 47 milliseconds from power-on to operational.

Lattice make some really cool devices. Not the fastest fmax speeds, but hell if the time to config and tiny power draw don't half make up for it.
Absolute eternity by modern computer standards. GPU will be a trillion operations ahead of you before you even start. Or for another view, that's a whole seven frames at 144Hz.
People say FPGAs will be great for many workloads, but then don't give examples. In my experience the only real ones are those requiring low-latency hardware comms. ADC->FPGA->DAC is a powerful combo. Everything else gets run over by either CPU doing integer work or GPU doing FP.
With the jetsons (agx orin) I have on my desk it would take a bit of tinkering to even get it under a minute.
