It's a few months away still, but AMDs new processor--codenamed Bulldozer--should rock things like this. It's not going to be out for a few months (heck the forward compatible motherboards still aren't quite out). It'll be interesting to see the 'playing field' for this holiday season. And after a bit of research, Intel's Sandybridge processors don't support Open-CL on the on-chip GPU. Sad panda.
edit: Here's the news leak. It seems that the performance of the new processor will be VERY application specific.
