Claims Nvidia CEO
Jensen Huang, Nvidia's CEO and one of the leaders of the computer graphics
market, made a very good case that every computer can benefit from
a GPU.
During the last financial conference call, he told investors that a lot of people are doing video
editing of their family videos that they want to send to their parents. Some cutting and
editing, and especially rendering and transcoding of edited HD videos can take hours.
If you have a Cuda based application, or in the future a DirectX
compute API enabled application in Windows 7, you should be able to do the video
editing up to 5 or more times faster than with a CPU alone.
This is a big difference and Nvidia hopes that a lot of
people will realize this. This is what makes Intel angry as the computer of
today can really benefit a GPU for something other than just playing. Let's just
hope that Nvidia can pull this one off.
