Why nobody talk about OpenCL in SnowLeopard

Actually as I read firsts reviews of Snow Leopard (due date tomorrow :-) ), I don’t read anything about OpenCL, exactly as if this incredible feature has been thrown away or post-poned…

Tomorrow, I will wait in line at the AppleStore Montreal to buy one, install it on my MacBook Pro to check it on a little 40GB partition, and try to make good use of OpenCL, check if OpenCL may use the dual-core CPU, the GeForce 9600M GT and also the GeForce 9400M, and moreover, all these at the same time to deliver impressive performance-level.

Think about it, on flopsBenchmark for _BIG_MAC, 9400M delivers up to 39 GFlops, 9600M GT up to 89 GFlops and CPU may deliver around 20 GFlops, for a grand total of 148 GFlops, 7X the CPU performance!!!
