Intel is stepping up its efforts to build custom chips for online giants like eBay and Facebook, giving them a boost in performance and, Intel hopes, another reason to keep buying its microprocessors.

Those FPGAs can be programmed to run unique algorithms that each online firm depends on to run its services.
