This seems correct to me. Of course you'd need to build a CPU emulator to run CPU code. A single GPU core is apparently about 100x slower than a single CPU core. With emulation a 1000x slowdown might be expected. So with a lot of handwaving, expect performance similar to a 4 MHz processor.

Obviously code designed for a GPU is much faster. You could probably build a reasonable OS that runs on the GPU.
