Oh boy, I can't wait for Etho and others all of a sudden start praising how wonderful a GPGPU is and how it will change gaming after reading that thing while it didn't matter on the Wii U :P

As the article points out, the Wii U is capable of using GPGPU (this is a method of computing, not a specific type of GPU), but is doing it with "arguably weak chips."  If the GPU proves to be quite weak, then there isn't going to much of an advantage to using the GPU as a GPGPU.  The PS4 and NeXbox, if this rumor proves to be true, are going to be built with this method in mind, so should still come with very good CPUs and GPUs.

Just how powerful do you think MS and Sony chips will be anyways? :P They will all be weak lol.

Way more powerful than a Wii U. That's really all we know.
Anything else is just wishful thinking on your part.

wishful what thinking? You are saying I'm only wishing my PC will be stronger? now you are not making any sense at all. I'm merely stating that all 8th gen consoles will be weak in my eyes, you are hoping for way too much lol.
