Cell-Based video encoder

From what i have read about GPU encoding it suffers in the quality department.

Do you have any articles that benchmark GPU encoding? I sincerely hope that one day GPU encoding becomes as good as software encoding and offer the speed they are promising. From what i have seen so far i was not impressed. And Radeon's GPU encoding is even worse than the CUDA one. Hopefully Open CL will help!

This thread was mainly intended for people that buy expensive high end CPUs for the sake of "encoding".

Obviously, i am not saying GPU encoding is not good. Hell i would love my GPU to be able to do that as well. Right now though it doesnt.

It would be interesting to see what speed this thing could voerclock to. Given CELL runs in over 3GHz and this only runs at 1.5GHz i would assume that it should overclock really well if they actually allowed you to overclock it. Assuming linear increase then that would give another halving of the time needed!
