It is. See the following FAQs on the IFI Technical Support Forum: http://ifirobotics.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=317

You can't think of an FPGA like you would a microcontroller. While you can embed a microprocessor core inside an FPGA, that isn't implemented in the FPGA. Instead, you can implement as large of a bus or register as you have available I/O and gates.

Note: The xilinx microblaze is a 32 bit processor.
