Re: what is the fastest speed that FPGA deals with CPU?

If you are looking for "coprocessing" types of connectivity, AMD
Opterons with Hypertransport are one possibility.  FPGAs can directly
attach to an Opteron via Hypertransport--FPGAs cannot directly connect
to an Intel CPU Front Side Bus (FSB).  In addition, all the external
transactions flow through the Intel FSB whereas the onboard Opteron
Memory Controller will service a substantial amount of load--leaving
only the IO traffic for the hypertransport links.
