This looks interesting...

Anyone know what are the weaknesses of these GPU's as opposed to
ordinary processors?

They are good at linear algebra and number crunching, obviously.

Is there some reason they would be bad at, say, MOSES learning?
(Having 128 program trees evaluated on 128 processors, against the
same knowledge base stored in RAM, would be nice.  Though I guess
processors contending for the same RAM could cause some slowdown
unless properly managed.)

Unlike the PS3, these processors come with a decent amount of onboard RAM.
