Contrary to Ethomaz's belief that this will be a big benefit now, this is in actual fact, a feature that will be great in the long run for optimization rather than short term while developers are still working to understand the architecture. I don't buy his comment on lifting it above PC GPU's because as you say the stronger CPU in most gaming PC's means they dont need the help from the GPU (as the lack of use of Nvidias tech as proven).
This is nothing to do with gimping the CPU though and is a very clever tweak to add flexibility at a low cost that could be of great benefit in the hands of the right developers.
