"Do you see much improvement over their current High End processors with this.?"
It doesn’t sound like there is much of a performance increase other than an upgraded GPU.
Considering that is the typical bottleneck in most systems, I can see this being a good call.
And with the socket launching with "quad-and six-core CPUs (with Hyper-Threading so eight and 12 execution units)" and possibly 8 cores, the GPU will most likely continue to be the bottleneck for the foreseeable future. ;)
However, it also means the shelf-life of the P55 chipset has just been diminished considerably.
