Heh? 180 Mh/s for an ASIC? Bitmain is kidding? Jihan thinks we all are idiots, doesn't he? It is just a gpu rig with no flexibility and reusability, so what's the catch for gamers? gpus are still used out there, same power efficiency.

Ethash needs ram, any 'thing' that runs this algorithm, needs ram on the die if it is going to be efficient, so, it is a gpu in its essence and consumes the same amount of wafer as a gpu. Producing such a chip (if there is any truly new chip introduced by Bitmain) is a challenge like any other gpu with same bottlenecks and constraints.
