OpenCL platform means the implementation of OpenCL. For example, in your case, you are using AMD's OpenCL software implementation for x86 CPU, but it's running on an Intel CPU (an OpenCL device)....

Personally I think the best bet for video encoding is still CPU based solutions. APU may help a little as the close integration between CPU and GPU allows more computation to be done on GPU (such as...

There are a lot video editing workloads can be done on GPU. Transition effects, text/picture overlays, special video effects, composition, transformation, etc. are all very suited for GPU. It's even...

What's interesting is, in the history of computing, it's almost always something "coming from below." Mini-computers replaced mainframes (although not totally), and workstations replaced...

This also depends on what software you use. Basically, GPU helps on video decoding acceleration. This doesn't sound exciting, but it's still important, as it enables one to edit directly on H.264...

Right now QCOM's market cap is a bit lower than INTC, although they are on comparable levels. If you consider their P/E ratio, I'd say that they are all too low. Heck, considering that TSM also has a...

Of course it matters. It brings down the perceived value of the game. If others can have essentially the same thing for free, that'd affect people's valuation of your game, as you should know that...

This is obviously not the case, as the "pirated copy" was deliberately leaked by the game developers containing altered codes. These pirates are "ordinary" pirates, not some people with secret access...

No, i740 still has on board memory (local memory), but it only uses these for frame buffer. All textures are stored in main memory, and have to be accessed across the AGP bus. Of course it has...

IIRC the first i740 (I'm not sure about later revisions) do not cache texture on local memory at all. All texturing access are directly from main memory, so it's very slow. Certainly it's better not...

In the link, there's an integrated GPU test. Apparently it's ~25% faster in 3DMark Vintage, and 30% ~ 40% in 3DMark 11. It's also from 11% ~ 26% faster in four games they tested. Since it's just GT2,...
