Scrypt ASICs Title: Re: [2014-01-06] AMD acknowledges the benefits of its hardware for bitcoin mining Post by: SaltySpitoon on January 06, 2014, 10:51:14 PM It would be interesting if AMD started making ASICs. They have the funds, machinery, and employees to completely out compete the existing manufacturers.

They have the funds, machinery, and employees to completely out compete the existing manufacturers. They could (and probably they should!) but I think it's too early, mining is a "niche" and it's rapidly shrinking. I'd like to know what's the percentage of GPUs used for mining against the total sold, what do you think guys? 3-5% being optimistic?
