I guess they mean Nehalem could get a REAL vector unit. Right now, Intel uses SSEn which is basically an FPU that can do vector instructions aswell.
If Intel takes technology from the Alpha EV8 for Vector, we could see a dedicated vector unit on the die which would be much more powerful than SSEn.
The benefits would be that anything which could be vectorized would see a massive speed up..
