It'll be a decade before this stuff reaches the grubby paws of gamers.
Expect supercomputer firms to be the first to develop hardware around this like Cray. Then it'll trickle down into the enterprise/server space. And then a year or two from there you will see it appear in consumer-grade products.
But stuff like this really does get me excited. because it makes me wonder how much further we can push the envelope and spur innovation in technology. Sure, we have yet to cure cancer, but if this can accelerate finding a cure, then the world needs stuff like this.
