As a matter of fact, some people here (to be precise, Mark Roulo) asserted that the "real" perf advantage of GPUs over CPUs is 2.5x-5x. Hence my suggestion to him (and David Kanter wrt his own statements) to show how can it possibly be true with a selection of papers as small as 10. Haven't seen anyone of them in the thread since.
