Graphics vendors had been trying to boost GPCPU idea around the end users for quite a while, and one most prevailing evidence for better proposition there left for graphics cores is the video processing, mostly video compressing to be sure. Now they just keep coming closer.

With nVIDIA’s GTX200s and AMD’s HD 4800 finally coming into real items on shelves, the idea of GPCPU has been pushed, or rather shifted, to just in front of every user buying these stuff. Both have tremendous, if not all mighty, power buried pending to be exploited.

However, lacking support from real popular software is truly a big headache for both graphics giants. Days like that maybe could not linger for too long since nVIDIA has already invited some video compressing software vendor to design specifically for its silicon to outperform any chip on the planet when video processing is all about.

Of course, AMD, who had been promoting hardware accelerated encoding and decoding idea to a extent that they even integrate that function to their “catalyst” graphics driver under the name of AVIVO,  is never lagging behind. In fact, they are believed to have made a giant step further, by contracting the super popular consumer video player producer – Cyberlink to make their next big upgrade in version able to make full utilization of AMD HD 4800s’ 800 streaming processors’ super power.

Cyberlink PowerDirctor 7 is the utility that can get the most out of a 4800s’ underlying power.

Era of instant video processing like the present super-fast MP3 sound processing, is coming our way. Stay positive while wait patient.

These news really make us pondering what forwarding change will Intel’s Labaree bring to us in coming months? Hope they release their anger bird earlier.
