What I'm wondering is, when and how will this benefit the end consumer like myself?

If you use CUDA, you can now use AMD GPUs instead of only being able to use Nvidia. Otherwise, it doesn’t mean much.

Yes I understand that part. I'm just wondering how. Will AMD release drivers? Third party drivers? No drivers, only software? What about software that just looks for Nvidia GPUs to use CUDA? Etc etc.
