History of Intel’s QuickSync, soon even faster! (Ivy Bridge)
Intel’s Quick Sync is a great new feature of their latest CPUs. One reader experienced 3x faster encoding and that is definitely not out of the norm!
You are probably already familiar with how Quick Sync speeds up video encoding and that it is generally regarded as better than the competing AMD and NVIDIA solutions. However, here are a couple tidbits you may not have heard yet!
#1 Intel’s Ivy Bridge brings even faster acceleration to Quick Sync
If this progression keeps up, I cannot imagine how fast video encoding is going to be in a couple years! I only hope AMD increases the performance & quality of its offering so they can really compete with Intel in this arena.

#2 Interesting history of how Quick Sync came to be & how it beat AMD/NVIDIA at their own game…
Articles like this are some of my favorite to read, they give you an inside look into the semiconductor industry and how an idea can take half a decade to finally come to fruition!
