[citation][nom]acku[/nom]Quick Sync is basically = GPGPU. It's just done fixed function style.
Andrew, Quick Sync in NOT GP (if GP is "General Purpose") and is NOT GPU at all. QuickSync IS *specialized* (not GP) transcoding pipeline with specialized VLIW instructions, that works in parallel with GPU in Intel HD Graphics 2000/3000 engine. You can see more detailed information on public xorg server:

And, of cource, opposition between GPGPU and specialized VLIW media engines, such as Intel Media Pipeline is absolutely correct.
