[SOLVED] Can you make an FPGA run sequential code and general purpose computing? What would the performance be like?

Despite FPGAs taking a longer time to code than with a normal CPU, can you still run sequential code/general purpose computes on it (essentially turning it into a normal CPU)? Also, how would the performance be like (Instructions Per Second, Flops of power, etc) and how would it compare to a normal CPU?
