Do HTML5 Elements Affect Search Engines?

Let me first say that I do not want to start a fiery war :-)

I am aware of the semantic meaning that tags, such as <article>, give a document, but what benefits does it receive from their use?

Do search engines look at them differently? If not, what other benefits are there?
