you say that until the first Scrypt-N miners hit the market.

"Each Scryptr chip can achieve about 1MH/s performance for Scrypt-N (N=2048) for coins such as Vertcoin. Hence for Neon C08, the Scrypt-N performance is 2MH/s. "

N is just a parameter, and conveniently a power of 2. when ASIC makers integrate that into their chips, there's no stopping them...
