Snow Leopard's Grand Central Dispatch and OpenCL boost video encoding app by 50 percent {Engadget}
Sep 17th 2009 9:43PM There is nothing new here guys. This is a simplification system. OpenCL and GCD are just there for it to be easier for developers to do this. OpenCL and GCD do not have any specific speed benefits. It's makes it easier to code right.
For comparison's sake check out Mediacoder. When they added GPU encoding, it got faster. When they added multicore support, it got faster. When they added 64bit support, it got faster.
But you can't say it's worthless. I just makes things easier to be more efficient. But you're talking about the benefits between managed code and native code. Well written native code will always be faster. But Apple's performance hype is based on comparing sloppy native code with proper managed code.
