As you can see, from a comparison between table 4.1 and tables 3.1 and 2.1, FPGAs hash much faster than any other hardware. The fastest in our list reaches 25,000 MH/s. FPGAs are faster at performing hashing calculations than both CPUs and GPUs. They are also more efficient as measured by the use of electricity per hashing unit. The increase in hashing speed in FPGAs is a significant improvement over GPUs and even more so over CPUs.
