KnuPath is an ASIC-like chip architecture
What's an "ASIC-like chip architecture"?

ASIC is an implementation method - not an architecture. The same design could be implemented on a FPGA, if it will fit.

256 GFLOPS in 34 W doesn't sound particularly impressive. Maybe they had trouble finding mil-spec parts that were fast & efficient enough, but it seems like both Movidius and Tegra TX-1 are more efficient.

Neither has 40 GB/sec of PCIe, though. It's kinda hard to see why they'd need so much I/O bandwidth, unless you need to interconnect a bunch of these to do anything useful. In that case, I'd have to ask: why not just use a bigger GPU?

They seem to be misinformed. Whether voice or fingerprints, biometrics should not be activated if you are security-conscious.

It is now getting known that the authentication by biometrics usually comes with poorer security than PIN/password-only authentication. The following video explains how biomerics makes a backdoor to password-protected information.
