Did you actually test on CPUs? What OpenCL implementation did you use?
My understanding is that Intel's OpenCL implementation is currently only
capable of using CPU cores, but not yet the GPU component present in
Sandy Bridge chips. On the bright side, it does not actually require
Sandy Bridge, but also supports many older CPUs from Intel.

Got any numbers you can post? Is cryptmd5 as supported in your OpenCL
patch still slower than it is with your CUDA patch?

FWIW, I've recently started mirroring these patches here:
