Wasn't LTC also claimed to be GPU and ASIC proof due to its high memory usage?

LTC had a high memory use compared to bitcoin, but ASICs caught up to it. Ethereum is designed to have high and increasing memory use, to make it a moving target that is hard to hit with anything more cost-efficient than a GPU.
