Lawrence,

its going to be harder to charge $575 for a Katmai in some market segments especially if that graphics card is able to execute those tasks at a significantly higher performance level than the Katmai.

I agree completely.

Microprocessors are inherently poor at doing calculations on large data sets. On the other hand, graphics geometry pipelines can achieve extremely high compute bandwidths. Complicated scenes slow dramatically in software based implementations.
