Well you know, in terms of cpu technology IBM has always lead the pack.

I just hope that Intel does open up everything enough that just your normal average C hacker will be able to make stuff to configure and run on these cores themselves.

It would be a very cool to be able to leverage your video card's proccessing power to do special things like rendering raytracing, or do media encoding and such things. I think that we'd be a lot further along in terms of 3d graphics and virtual environments, also, if it wasn't for these things being so damn proprietary all the time.
