From this perspective Fermi is a programmable beast capable to perform massive calculations in a fraction of time and energy compared to existing architectures.
It's a miracle Nvidia did it where Intel failed with Larrabee.
This is why it opposes a real threat to existing CPUs as well as GPUs.
What we see today with all those benches on the net is proof of Fermi being a chameleon that was programed to serve us as a GeForce GPU.
I believe we have a lot more to see from Nvidia's Fermi architecture in a year time frame.
Fermi architecture is Nvidia's ticket to the future.
Too much green koolaid?
Other than the fact that almost everything you said is even not even remotely true or possible, you have a point that Fermi is their future.
