Think about the market advantages! The board needs figures, so how about this:
-Jumpstart into the Cloud; imagine how much the likes of Facebook can get to buy this: massive parrallel tiny operations on CUDA because of kernel acceleration;
-Massively reduce server costs by needing less compute units (saving space, cut down on cooling, saving energy, reducing cost all over the board);
-Improving nVidia's image means free marketing;
-Offloading extra development costs for free to the likes of PathScale (let them sign an NDA for improving key parts, saving nVidia cost and improving PathScale income).
