My hypothesis is that general computing frameworks are the next big thing. The powerful GPUs have been mostly black boxes for way too long. A lot of clever people will not want to just throw them away or sell them second-hand and will try to find better ways to utilize them.

I might very well be super wrong. F.ex. NVIDIA is guarding their secrets very well and we have no reason to believe they'll suddenly drop the ball. But it does make me think; IMO a truly general GPU (and open + free) compute has been our area's blind spot for way too long.
