Is it part of the cpu? or a external piece of hardware that bolsters your cpu ram? im confused, how will it change gaming how will it affect peoples current rigs?

It's just a new form of storage:

It's not going to affect gaming. If you get a normal SSD all that does is improve load times a bit. It can improve over a hard drive by up to roughly 3X faster but it doesn't scale. A fast SSD isn't usually much different than a slow SSD so the future faster storage solutions won't make much difference at all.
