  Yes, there are ASIC rigs that are specifically designed for mining Ethereum. These rigs are optimized for the Ethash algorithm used by Ethereum, which is different from the SHA-256 algorithm used by Bitcoin. By using ASICs, miners can achieve higher hash rates and energy efficiency compared to using GPUs or CPUs. Some popular ASIC rigs for Ethereum mining include the Bitmain Antminer E3 and the Innosilicon A10 Pro.

  No, there are currently no ASIC rigs specifically designed for mining Ethereum. Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum is designed to be ASIC-resistant, meaning that it is intended to be mined using GPUs or CPUs. This is to ensure a more decentralized mining process and prevent centralization of mining power. However, there are rumors that ASIC manufacturers are working on developing Ethereum-specific ASICs, so this may change in the future.
