Intel's first processor architecture with integrated GPU will be launched early next year under the name of Clarksdale. There is still a bit unclear how powerful the integrated graphics chip will be, but we expect a couple of ice-cold snap higher performance than today's integrated circuit models. But there is not any evidence of this. Intel operates in all cases to a much more serious focus on GPU performance with Clarksdale, and in particular has now revealed that the public will support hardware accelerated video transcoding by GPGPU technology.
Intel revealed that support for video encoding would appear in a future software update, and thus able to relieve the system CPU in a better way when working with video material.
Clarksdale will consist of a 32nm-made CPU with 4MB of cache and HyperThreading is joined by the 45nm-made graphics chip. Exactly how useful the integrated graphics chip can do in video coding is another interesting question but the extra power is always positive in the heavy burdens, like video encoding.
