Most of new games built with Flash are using Stage3D which runs on the GPU. These games however don't really rely much on the vector capabilities and animation timeline, which still uses the CPU. Adobe could probably make a vector renderer run on the GPU though. Some people have made vector animation renderers as a proof of concept.

Right, the polished Stage3D stuff would just go through to WebGL. It's the vector stuff I'm concerned about. There's a lot of great, fun little Newgrounds-style animations & games made with that level of graphics.
