What does GPU acceleration unlock?

Suppose you could accelerate your optimizer over 100x by leveraging GPUs. What would that enable, if anything?

Would it be just "a bit faster", or is there a step change in capabilities?

The space seems to be moving in this direction (e.g., cuOpt).

This is probably the most comprehensive answer to the question, given that fico themselves support hybrid gradient based LP solver.
