Ya, that's not an exaggeration.
Try again.
And you could say the same thing about going from ATI 4xxx cards to 5xxx cards.
Your argument holds no water.

Proteins fold in solution, so all of the molecules you see in those Youtube sims not only have the forces of each other to calculate, but also the forces between each moleculed and the solution.
MW@home *may* work on simulations with as many nodes(stars, planets = molecules in protein) but in large, space is an empty vacuum.
Also consider that fah protein molecules are very close together, so each molecule affects many others directly. In space, the nodes are very far apart. It would seem to me the force calculations in MW are much simpler than in FAH.
But then I'm not a molecular biologist or astrophysicist, so this is just an educated guess.
Either that, or the data from Milkyway is much easier to compile in to VLIW instructions than the F@h data.
So than we will never really know except for opinions or guesstimation
Unless F@H and MW@H open up their programming code for all to see

Und das alles klar.
According to economic analysts, Nvidia goes bankrupt in two years. And what then? Permanent development of GPU client for NV cards, from the viewpoint of economics, is meaningless.

According to lots of doomsday cults, the world will end badly anyway and depending on which one you pick it might come sooner then later. Should we just stop breathing as well?
Those economist are wrong btw, Nvidia isn't in as much problems yet as some think. They have an diverse product lineup, not only gaming gpu's.
Reminder
