New AMD GPU Tech Speeds Video Conversions

[Guest]

The hole idea behind the 'using an intel CPU ' is what moriarty_ said and saying : 'Hey guys why buy a 1000$ dollars CPU when you could buy a cheap quad core from AMD and a nice Radeon at 200$ and you get 1000% peed-up. Oh and that up-coming Nehalem ...wasn't it supposed to be better in video encoding? well our GPU's are better and cheaper.' IMHO i think it's a good choice for AMD.

nVidia may have been first to concept with BadaBoom, but it seems ATi/AMD has a much better implementation, not to mention treating their customers with respect by offering it for free. As if nVidia doesn't already stick it to the customer enough with their premiums...

Don't get me wrong, though. I like nvidia's hardware, I just don't like their corporate practices.

Are you sure that the 3xxx series can do this as well?
