It's an awesome tool, but it will probably be too small to be useable as miner.
700mhz *64 = 44800 MIPS.
A feeble radeon 7750 has 900mhz *512 = 460800 MIPS which is almost a magnitude higher.
These things are very power efficient and given time will surpass GPUs in raw power, but not quite yet.

Just a quick note from one of the kickstarter comments:
==bitcoin==
can sb elaborate on expected efficiency of this device for bitcoin mining? Best an educated estimate on Mhash/s?
*the FPGA miner estimates max 109Mh/s (what wattage?) on this board: DE2-115 features 114,480 logic elements (LEs) // https://github.com/progranism/Open-Source-FPGA-Bitcoin-Miner
*ASILC : http://www.butterflylabs.com/order-form-bitforce-sc-jalapeno/ is it a vaporware, or real deal?
Many thanks,
I'm eager to read the answer. Only 26 hours to go. Let's push this through!

not for mining, but for rendering it will be great. can't wait to get my hands on one!
Me too! It also seems to be really useful when it comes to grid computing. Quote

Sounds incredibly to me but might be pretty useful when it comes to generating Bitcoins.
Guess not.
possibly, at about the speed of 64 cpus
a 7970 has 2048 stream processors operating in parallel
FLOPS means nothing in Bitcoin mining - sorry
