This is, as the kids say, very lit.
(Extremely cool, in case I butchered the youngspeak).

This is really cool!
Do you think one could use this to run compute kernels on the GPU? Or is it for graphics only?

If it can do Vulkan compute shaders (not there but planned, from what I read), then it can do a somewhat limited form of GPGPU compute.
Somewhat limited because for reasons beyond my comprehension, compute APIs tend not to be in sync with graphics APIs, they provide a little bit more control on low-level GPU features (warp intrinsics, etc). You're unlikely to find this to be a problem in simple GPGPU programs, but it might become one if you ever ended up on a problem where absolute maximum performance is required.
