Pushing pixels to a high resolution display, under tight latency constraints, is going to stress even today's high-end systems. If they succeed at appealing to the mass market, I bet there will be a significant effect on the rate of system upgrades.

Just got my devkit and this was the first thing I noticed, I started to wish my 3 year old MacBook Pro had a faster GPU. First time in a really long time that I actually had the urge to update my system, haven't felt something like that since the 486/Pentium days.
I think there's the potential for a renaissance of super-high-end gaming-class PCs for sure. As well as a reason to radically enhance the 3D graphics computational power of smartphones and tablets.
