A new generation of Internet Explorer web browser, version 9, will use the GPU for processing web pages, and that will lead to less use of main processor.
If everything completes properly IE 9 should get the higher performance, by sending images and text to the GPU processor for processing through Direct2D and DirectWrite, ie using DirectX functions. This means that content rich web sites will be processed faster and with a lot less use of main processor.
IE 9 will bring support for HTML 5 that should in the coming period replace HTML 4. Demo of using GPU in IE 9 can be seen on the following link, but it is necessary to install Silverlight to see the video: IE 9 GPU Demo
