I'm pretty sure Nvidia is cleaning house with Intel when you compare something like say a K80 vs a Phi. The number of people who can do amazing and wonderful things (and frameworks to support them) with an Nvidia GPU vs a Phi is also dramatically different.

I expressed some vague interest in using CUDA for something and we were offered a demo account on one of their boxes, invited to apply for an academic hardware grant, and pointed at tons of training material (books, a MOOC, conferences, and even some 1-2 day sessions), libraries, and other resources. On the other hand, my institute apparently has some Phis. I discovered this because there's a small queue with that name on our cluster. I don't think I've ever been contacted by an Intel rep or offered training material--or even marketing material--from Intel, let alone a Phi of my own to experiment with.
