In the end it's not that CPU's hash way faster than GPU's at high N's; specifically, it's that CPU's cost less Watts per Kh/s to mine at higher N's.

 Some examples of hash rates and setups with CPU's and GPUs @ N = 14;  can be seen here - http://yacoinwiki.tk/index.php/Mining_Hardware_Comparison

You can see, as an example here @ N14

2x E5645 Procesors    2x 80W --   1.53Kh/s    

7950 GPU                  (250w)    1.3-1.5 Kh/s
Question is when is "the end" ?
For N=14  from your link :
Code:
R7 250 2 GB 32W 2.47 kH/s
Previous 7950 test was run with an old cgminer and/or unoptimized settings (lookup gap = 2 ...)

N=15 is  nearly 10 months from here so the end will wait  Smiley
