Wel, thats kind of a bold statement.

I don't know about Sandy Bridge and can't speak for future plans, but
for a GM45 you are better off using an SSE based OpenCL implementation
executing on your CPU.
Except some corner cases, Intel-CPUs are usually far more powerful
than the shaders in the chipsets ;)
