I would like to see OpenCL be like the DirectX of GPGPU computing. In the future we may see GPU benchmarks with both synthetic, game, and gpgpu workload tests comparing AMD, Nvidia, and maybe even Intel GPUs.

I imagine we will see a lot of applications for this new technology in about 2 years.

I'm really liking the desire of AMD to keep things open. Better for the coders, ultimately better for the end-users.

Math co-processor!.

Seriously, a GPU is nothing more then a massively paralleled and super-scaled FPU.

AMD needs to revamp its stream computing website. Nvidia has their "CUDA zone" but googling doesn't turn up anything similar for ATI.
