ASIC endgame still very far away!

"Old" KNC chips available at 15 cents per GH with tiny MOQ.  Which means their regular chips are even cheaper.  With current ASIC prices about $1 per GH the ASIC endgame appears to still be ways away.

Low cost per GHS is part of the equation. You also need power efficiency for the assembled rigs.

Power efficiency is not a major consideration currently.  It's still price per GH.

Depends on when those chips are installed into miners and go into production. At the current rate of difficulty increases, a miner going into production today produces twice as many BTC as one going into production in 52 days on October 7. For this reason, a lot of expect that rate to slow down - but it has not slowed down yet.
