Personally, I'm looking forward to the new game consoles. I'll likely buy a PS3 shortly after it comes out. Buying a PS3 is a MUCH cheaper way to get a cell processor than going with an 11k board from Mercury Systems.
Cell processor: 170+ GFLOPs.
P4 Xeon 3.8Ghz: 8 GFLOPs.
Hmm.... and 600 bucks for the cell, well over 1k for the Xeon... I think I'll take a Cell, Bob.
