Coindesk has an interesting article on the first publicly-available ETH-mining ASIC from Bitmain. This machine pumps out 180 MH/s.

In comparison, the new miner outguns the Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070 TI at nearly 7x the hashpower. Power consumption is 800 W for the bitmain vs 180 w for the GTX.
This is obviously negative for Nvidia but GPU mining sales are a small portion of total sales. Also Nvidia makes good chips and they have a nice lead on the AI field so any drop in the price of NVDA stock may be a good buying opportunity.
Disclaimer:
No positions here and I'm not initiating an NVDA buy or short here. Will be looking to pickup a GPU on the cheap for my wife's engineering/CAD rig.
