Yes, I'm currently coding a DX11 based tessellation tree generator with the aim to have fully 3D trees, bushes and grass that dynamically scale back LOD.

It's quite slow at the moment though but my god do the trees and bushes look pretty.

It specifically says symmetric multiprocessing. That has nothing to do with this. Its a decade old technology.

.....The latest example of this is Grand Central, a new thread management architecture that greatly simplifies developers’ ability to take advantage of the multiple cores now being used in modern CPUs, as well as the raw processing power available in GPUs (graphical processor units) on the system’s video card.

And: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Performance/Conceptual/OpenCL_MacProgGuide/UsingGCDwOpenCL/UsingGCDwOpenCL.html

It's the same thing.

No, its not.

Using OpenCL(Why didn't wiki mention this feature? Is it actually implemented yet?) is not enough to be HSA. APUs and Ivy Bridge can already run OpenCL on their iGPUs. But that is just the CPU telling the GPU what to do. That has massive performance overhead. Its only useful on a large, very parallel task. Latency doesn't matter on a file compression that takes several minutes.

Integrating the GPU as a coprocessor on the hardware level removes those performance overheads.

Apple uses Intel chips so will get those benefits when everyone else does. So again, that has nothing to do with this.

On topic: So if this is a success, would it mean we can get similar performance to what consoles are getting out of the hardware? If so, it would just be awesome!
