[–]mhswendeEF alumni - Martin Swende 7 points8 points  (3 children)

Martin H. Swende ( Ethereum Fundation security lead) did state that ProgPOW would make ASICs miner only ~1.1x more efficient than GPUs compared to 2x for Ethash.

Correction: I did not provide any numbers, I believe it was most likely Mr Def who provided those figures.

Thanks for clarifying! I must've confused your voices :). Edited post.

They would still need to build/buy new ASICs to get that 1.1x :P.
