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.

Sony has never released a console that was only marginally more powerful compared to the previous gen, and they are not going to start now.  The only people who think the PS4 is going to be a slight upgrade from the PS3 are Nintendo fans who are praying the gap in graphics won't be a large as it was this gen.  But considering Wii U is currently trying to compete (and in some cases losing) against current gen consoles, it seems the graphical gap will be similar.
