A little more speculation. Or maybe Intel is going to release the
equivalent of CUDA and ffmpeg is including support for it... Who
knows? There are at least Windows video encoding software that uses
the CUDA SDK for off-loading the CPU, but because of the closed source
architecture, ffmpeg has not so far been interested in including
support for it (as I understood). I'm not sure if it helps in
rendering of video, though. Enough...
