gpu mining or asic mining ?
Sadly blockchain.info doesn't give away what hardware is used for the calculation, so it doesn't allow for a precise statement.But with difficulty rising and price dropping it's fair to assume that even Asics won't provide a margin anymore if this continues.
Actually, they do:
Quote
* Electricity consumption is estimated based on power consumption of 650 Watts per gigahash and electricity price of 15 cent per kilowatt hour. In reality some miners will be more or less efficient.
** For profit margin hardware costs are estimated to be $1000 per gigahash every 2 years, and bandwidth $1 per gigahash per year.

In other words, their assumptions are now complete bullshit.
