    No..the GPU is multifold more simple than a CPU. Its like comparing a toy car with a real car. GPUs are simple in construction and contains alot of "copy/paste" logic. It takes about 4-5 years to develop a CPU with 1000s of people. A GPU is usually made in 1-1½ years with 100s of people. The record for a GPU is about 3 years I think. With completely new architecture. G80 costed about 475mio$ to develop according to nVidia. K10, K8, Core 2, i7 etc is multi billion$ research pieces.
