You will (hopefully) hear from Axel on this, but :

Is this an assumption or the result of benchmarking the two hardware
configurations with your intended system sizes ? For small (atom-wise)
systems, you shouldn't expect much improvement by increasing the number of
GPUs (and for tiny systems the 1CPU+2GPU may not scale at all).

My twocents,
