Finally a decent reason for gpu hardware acceleration in a browser? :p

Who's going to try it?

Chrome web Browser with WebCL™ now Available for Download
WebCL™ 1.0, soon to be published by the Khronos group, is a JavaScript API providing access to OpenCL™ acceleration, a sibling to the now quite popular WebGL™ API. AMD has been working on implementing WebCL™ inside a Chrome browser, enabling web programmer access to compute acceleration, including interop between WebCL™ and WebGL™.

This doesn't work for me on my GTX 670, comes up with an OpenCL error. Just copied it across to my fiancee's machine though and it flies on her 7850. It's definately faster than stock chrome.
