I think you'd need to qualify what better means here. GPUs will give much higher performance for FP64 than CPUs will. The price of CPUs has continued to increase significantly in the last 5 years, and now high-end Xeons are more expensive than GPUs. Consumer GPUs aren't what you'd typically compare to since people doing large scientific simulations wouldn't use a desktop unless it's a very small model.
