This is apparently available for an academic price of around two
thousand dollars.

A google search hasn't revealed much talk on the tor lists about FPGAs for Tor.

Such cards will probably have to be used in the near future, at least
to reduce bandwidth costs per gigabit/s speed.

I imagine infrequent operations and operations likely to be changed
between Tor versions could be offloaded to the CPU.
