I think 3dfx also released a statement like that, I could be a ploy so investors dont pull their assets out but who knows, hopefully they stay in business so intel doesn't dominate the market (and prices) ,
As for cpu vs gpu, in games a dedicated GPU will bring massive performance benefits more so then a CPU will (nvidia graphic cards also have Physx, cuda ..etc), while gaming with modern pc games, my cpu is usually idle while the GPU does all the work, but in emulators then it's kinda split the CPU does a lot of work to emulate the system while GPU has to massively upscale and usually render unoptimized graphics causing a GPU hit, so it really depends..
I think the furturemark benchmark is DirectX only, as for the OpenGL compatibility and AMD, I'm not sure the specifics but I'm pretty sure ATI drivers usually don't follow the opengl standard, they sometimes miss parts of the OpenGL spec, thats why some drivers work better then others.
