ASIC miner could kill GPU mining
Memory hard hashing algorithm were considered a way to avoid asics mining take over - the basis for GPU mining.

It seems now that Bitmain has found a way how to go around this and is seriously on track producing "ethereum" miner who could put GPU miners out of business like immediately. 200 Mh/s for around 3'000 USD would be a great price / performance ratio and might even be better as soon as things are going.
