As someone looking at buying a new rig in the future, the idea of having extra power from my machine almost cements the use of an ATI card for me.

It's clear that AMD has taken the graphics crown back, the one it hasn't held so firmly since the Radeon 9xxx days. The open-sourcing of their drivers combined with this ices the cake. If I ever build a new rig there's no question which direction I'm going.

Finally, a serious response to CUDA. I want to get into GPU development eventually, so this brings ATI cards back into consideration when I finally upgrade my aging desktop. Even after removing the copious Nvidia harshing from The Inq, this is a big win for ATI. Double bonus kudos for it being OpenCL based!
The days of having dedicated processors (GPU or CPU) are coming to a close. Soon we will have generic processors that can do graphics, central processing, or even physics and systems with the capability to support hundreds of processors to do whatever the OS requires.... 10 years max. ;)

I saw the link yesterday and tried to get some feedback on it, but it wasn't until I read more up on it today that I felt good enough about it to write a news post. Thanks though for pointing me in the right direction.
