I know all that.

I know all that. My point is that in order to make a fair comparison you might as well compare an ASIC with a <1 year old desktop, instead of an overpriced several years old laptop, especially because your point still stands the same . There is absolutely no need to fudge up the numbers because ASICs outclass general purpose hardware by orders of magnitude anyway. It's dishonest and with absolutely no need for it. As an aside, my 2 year old laptop gets 20MH&#x2F;s and a latest-generation desktop CPU gets close to 100MH&#x2F;s.
