I was thinking a site could have a constantly updated table showing all the current-gen ASICs and USB miners that people actually use. It could list electricity prices in cents per kWh and add a column for average profits for each miner based on current difficulty and those electricity prices.
Has someone already built something like that?
Just to clarify, I’m not referring to those mining profitability calculators.
Anyone created a site comparing electricity costs and ASICs profitability?

I have a spreadsheet that does it
Most miners are configurable to use different amounts of power though, with lower hash rates usually giving you more efficiency, so not sure what value you would end up using in such website.
For example, a Compac F USB miner can generate about 300 GH/s at 12W, but that can change up or down depending on the frequency you're running it at (and also assuming you have enough Amps per USB port).
With the Apollo BTC you can get about 2.1TH/s at around 120W, but of course that can also move up or down.

Thanks for the asicminervalue website, that was exactly what I was looking for.
I think that a site would be fine with listing the hashrates and profitability rates of only the default frequency i.e. assuming a user doesn't try to tune a miner by using different frequencies (using official or unofficial means) - since that kind of list with all possible frequencies and configurations would inevitibly become out-of-hand.
