> That being said, it's not even true anymore that ETH is GPU-only; despite attempting ASIC-resistance, there are now ASIC miners for ETH too, although unlike with Bitcoin, Ethereum is still able to be mined with GPUs.

Last time I looked those "ASIC" miners for ETH were basically a few GPUs stacked together in one case. More of a special PC setup than truly ASICs and that's why there is still GPU mining. Those ASIC miners were not that much faster and cost effective than a regular GPU setup.

Has that changed?
