I picked this example which claims a x160 speedup:

University of Rochester

http://cyberaide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/papers/08-cuda-biostat/vonLaszewski-08-cuda-biostat.pdf

I couldn't find where the x160 comes from, figure 7 shows a
speedup of ~ x85. They don't state what CPU they used, but
claimed speedup is vs *sequential* CPU code. I won't
pretend I understand anything of what's said in that paper,
but the speedup claim really looks bogus.
