decentralization than ASIC resistance?

An attacker basically had to dominate 3 different mining algos.

It's all economies of scale. No small miner can compete against a 10-Gigawatt mining farm + Solar farm on Sahara A Gigafactory full of miners will nearly ALWAYS be more profitable than just solo mining in house

An "ASIC-PC" can have el-cheapo version of stock CPUs, but to make them cheaper, they - for example - could be produced soldered together with the motherboard (non-removable) or something. Costs of the motherboard can be also probably cut in half, by - for example - including no PCIE slots, and having only integrated super-cheapo GPU with 16MB (crazy, right?) VRAM. RAM? Soldered to motherboard, produced together with the board to cut costs. ASICs and cost optimization will ALWAYS happen when there is big profit to be made. Can't make it go away. Such coins are simply too niche and too low-profit to gather the interest of huge manufacturers.

But wait, there's more! - No SATA/IDE connectors - No NVME connectors - A single super-cheapo USB controller with 1 (sic!) USB socket - No onboard audio - Mini-ITX motherboard format - 1 Very powerful stabilized 5kW-10kW DC power supply per 10-20 "miner-PCs" I would bet a sufficiently creative manufacturer could cut the costs of motherboards by 75% and PCs by 40% this way, assuming mass production

Would be an investment, adding the cooling too.

If such coins become profitable enough for gigantic scale mining, companies will simply produce specialized "PCs" that cannot be used for anything else than mining and are 30% cheaper and 20% more energy efficient than normal PC. And what then? Game over. This is why making "ASIC-resistant" coins/algorithms is pointless.
