I agree that the hardware advances are inspirational, and it seems possible that just having huge hardware around could change the way people think and encourage new ideas. But what I'm really looking forward to is somebody producing a very impressive "general intelligence" result that was just really annoying because it took 10 days of computing instead of an hour. Seems to me that all the known AGI researchers are in theory, design, or system building phases; I don't think any of them are CPU-bound at present -- and no fair pointing to Goedel Machines or AIXI either, which will ALWAYS be resource-starved :)
