not only data moving but perhaps. it highly depends on what the asics will have implemented as functions which would usually iterate through the whole gpu-pipeline. very interesting approach but for most guys out there it doesn't really translate into "flops" as fixed-function-hardware dpes what it does in very small time. i think we have to hear what devs will say about it.
