Ok, so 12 years after Deep Crack they've managed to get triple its performance. I can't say that I'm very impressed.

Deep Crack used specialized ASICs. The breakthrough is that these general-purpose (reprogrammable) FPGAs are actually faster.

What can I say? Pico Computing likes to brag and Dr. Dobb's published an article about it. As you said in your first comment, there's nothing new about this.
