Ok - so lets see some data.

#1 Benchmarks showing at least SPIR dgemm/sgemm performance
#2 Some logical explanation why all the extra work for SPIR when LLVM IR 
is native

Basically besides an opinion or because it's "shiny" some solid 
technical reason.

I hate to repeat myself, but again.. why on earth would a solution which 
is closed source be preferred over llvm ir...
