A lot of what he is talking about is a problem that the average person who plays games on their PC doesn't have ... The crapware discrete graphics card.
I could be wrong but the vast majority of PCs sold to users are probably box deals from major suppliers (like Dell), and a person can spend $1,000 on their desktop and end up with a GPU like the Radeon HD5450 (or worse). While a person could go out an buy a $100 graphic card and play every console game released at higher resolutions, with a faster frame rate, and more detail these bargain basement graphics cards have difficulty playing any game.
Sandy Bridge could (effectively) eliminate this problem being that the integrated GPU is far better than these low end GPUs.
