This makes no sense to me. This article is about 1 week old clearly stating that UVD (etc) would be added to the video card. This makes no sense to me because at the time of the interview video cards were already sent to stores for sale. How do we go from "using UVD" to "not using uvd" in a week's time frame?
Here something else, if you don't have UVD what's the point of the audio processor?In addition, the R600 is the first GPU that integrates the Universal Video Decoding (UVD) engine for hardware video decoding, plus a 3D engine for rendering. According to AMD, this configuration offers a significantly higher performance, since the workload of CPU during play-back of HD video is transferred to the GPU and specifically the UVD engine itself. In addition the shaders are off-loaded since video decoding is not dependent on the 3D engine.
