Well, that's just another way of stating that CPUs have fallen way, way behind graphics cards in terms of power. At some point in the past the difference in power wasn't nearly as large. If there were consumer-grade 16- and 32- core Intel processors with reasonable prices I would consider buying them for the sake of certain experiments. It would save me from dealing with CUDA or OpenCL. But right now that's the domain of pricey high-end server stuff.
