GPU acceleration sounds all great.. until anyone actually generalizes the framework, implements applications, and measures even the most trivial workload. There should be some niche applications you may get 2-10x benefit, but 1000x is either measurement error, apple-to-banana comparison, or a new marketing gimmick. Unless you have a very fitting application, it is very easy for GPU to have less performance than CPU. I would be very curious what application actually could have 1000x performance enhancement. Even memory bandwidth, the main benefit of GPU, does not differ by that amount.
