I've got one on my desk atm, Terasic DE10 Nano dev board. Intel has x86 CPU / FPGA combos for the data center, the only reason they have ARM based FPGA SOC's is Intel don't really have the kind of low end and low power hardware that would fit into the power limits for lower end chips, that and Altera was designing these before Intel bought them. Like if you want parity with ARM from Intel you have to go with Atom or Quark and they are still more power hungry than ARM while being only about as fast. As for data centers they don't mind using crazy amounts of power as long as the job is done quicker so it suits Intel to offer you ARM FPGA soc's and data center X86 FPGA combos.
