The main advances of Pixel Shader 3.0 and Vertex Shader 3.0 is that they will have an almost unified instruction set that will reduce the necessity for learning one instruction set each for Pixel and Vertex Shaders.
The new Pixels Shader will get access to Vertex Shader branching and control flow instructions while at the same time the new Vertex Shader VS 3.0 will give access to general texture fetches and some information associated with the colour and the Z Buffer.
From a conceptual point of view it's this unification of instructions that could be of great importance as it will allow a programmer to think of the VPU as a generalised processor -- similar in many ways to a CPU which handles graphics operations.
