If I'm correct, with nVidia CUDA, the program comes atleast 20 times faster, if you have 9800 GT or better card.. No matter even if it is against Core i7..

Yes, the video cards make it go a lot faster compared to any CPU. The reason I think is because video cards like NVidia have many many CUDA cores compared to CPU cores.

Newer nVidia Tesla, which will come on april-june, will run it more than 200 times faster than any other video GPU/CPU made so far..
You can also see it from it's price, 19k$.. Cheapest around 2.5k$
