Let's say you want to run a service that does scene classification in images using deep convolutional networks. It takes 100ms on an Intel chip today, and 3ms on a GPU. But you can't run your entire service on a GPU...you're going to need that CPU anyway. So if Intel can close the gap even a little bit (say, down to 25ms), it might be worth it to avoid the headache of running a GPU server and just buy more Intel chips, which can run anything.
