Am I the only one who doesnt know what a GPGPU is?

It means they plan to open up the GPU so games can run physics or computational code on it? It's something the new GPU supports that the Wii GPU did not.

But I don't see it happening because the GPU will be maxed out with rendering 1080p.

It's more of a marketing thing than any real information.

They could also use it for apps further down the line though. I doubt that extra 1Gb of RAM is going to be solely reserved for the OS. We may get things like video editing apps (e.g. recording a multiplayer match and editing stuff using the tablet) that use the GPU a bit more.

If this was MS/Sony I'd agree. But Nintendo can't even be bothered to code an online system.
