Summary:

Ignore the rumor that China-based Bitmain’s ASIC Ether miners will affect GPU sales of AMD and Nvidia.
Bitmain now controls 50% of Bitcoin hash rate. It operates the two largest mining pools for Bitcoin.
The developers and current miners of ASIC-resistant Ether and Monero blockchain certainly do not want Bitmain to again get 50% or more of their cryptocurrency’s hash rate.
The core developers of GPU-based cryptocurrencies will likely continuously update their blockchain algorithm to disable highly-efficient ASIC hardware miners.
Consequently, Ethereum and Monero miners will remain dependent on Radeon and GeForce video cards.
