Would you care to elaborate ? "Supercomputing with regular off the shelf commodity chips is real wasteful" does not provide much insight as to which industries and purposes you are talking about.
I certainly agree about the need for streaming processors, but by and far, they (possibly with the exception of ClearSpeed) are not mature enough for most industry specific purposes (in large scale settings, not thinking of 'desktop tinkering')

We need to use streaming processors for alot of projects. They are more efficient.
