Intel researchers announced the creation of an ultra low voltage (ULV) video encoding accelerator, they claim the chip can make video compression and encoding almost 10x more energy-efficient than today.
In order to improve performance/watt in future processors, Intel researchers are exploring circuits to accelerate key algorithms. Researchers have developed an ultra low voltage special-purpose video encoding accelerator implemented in 65nm CMOS. This accelerator circuit could make video compression and encoding almost 10x more energy-efficient than today.
