maybe dedicated chips can still not compete with GPU given that they have 1600 parallel stream processors inside that apparently can be programed to create those hashes... I suppose unless you can integrate more than that number on an FPGA (because I doubt you could outclock it) the GPU will be Hash/time Hash/price winner!
