To quote Apple,
"OpenCL stands for Open Computing Language. It’s a C-based programming language with a structure that will be familiar to programmers, who can simply use Xcode developer tools to adapt their programs to work with OpenCL. They don’t have to completely rewrite applications to use OpenCL"
"For example, sophisticated financial modeling techniques can be incorporated into desktop accounting software and personal finance software. Media applications can perform complex, intensive operations with larger video and graphics files. Games can have more accurate physics simulations. And scientists and researchers can tackle far more challenging problems using their everyday Mac computers"
Most of which are already available in PC world e.g. Mathlab, PowerDirector 7, Adobe Photoshop CS4, SciFinance, Office FX(PowerPoint Direct3D plug-in), MAGIX Video Pro X, Adobe Acrobat 9, PhysX enabled games (e.g. Mirror's Edge, UT3, Sacred 2, 'etc'), LightStage/Otoy(RT Raytracing)

The 2009 baseline MacBook includes 9400M.

The next MacOS release enables general applications to use GpGPU.

The competition has SSE.
