> Meanwhle, my Core i7-5930k's SOL is <1/2 of 2011's GTX 580 at 672 GFLOPS and it still doesn't have fast approximate transcendentals. Skylake begins to fix this, but c'mon, GPUs have had these for almost a decade now...

Give that GPU a highly serialized workload and watch the actual performance take a nosedive. There's not much of a reason to compare a sniper rifle to a carpet bomb.
