There are limit to FPGA speed, defined by quantum effects like leakage and transistor die size in the chip itself. Not only will it take a very long time to get one that's as near as fast as a 2004-era G4, it might not actually ever happen.
Not with that technology anyway. More chance of custom "3D printed" ASICs being accessible to hobbyists IMO. And not for many years.
