As you probably know Intel's next architecture, Haswell, is set to release on June 2. It's a new architecture with some significant improvements, AVX2, backside of the execution engine increased from 6 to 8 ports (first change since Conroe), improved branch predictor, improved memory controller, TSX, 2X cache bandwidth, and others. Depending on the coding of Vegas some of these could result in significant performance improvements.
But the big news is that the new GPU, which comes in 4 varieties, GT1, GT2, GT3, and GT3e will support Cuda.
The GT3e supports 40 instruction units (up from 16 in Ivy Bridge) and the "e" means this model has it's own cache. Not integrated into the CPU die but in it's own die on the CPU package.
Anyway I have a feeling this integrated GPU will be the first to actually have enough horsepower to be useful in VP12 and since it will include CUDA hopefully it will be supported.
Should be interesting. This could be the beginning of a very powerful editing platform without a discrete graphics adapter. Imagine how cool it would be to have a quad core Haswell with GT3e graphics in a notebook and have blazing fast Vegas performance?
I'm looking forward to June 2. Plus it's my birthday;)
