Snow Leopard will revolutionize the drivers for video cards?

Source : MacplusRoughlydrafted has published a very interesting interview with Bertrand Serlet. An aspect particularly drew our attention, Open CL. This system will oversee the computations and route some calculations to be carried out by the graphics chips and thus accelerating many processes. According to this interview, this collection of APIs will be independent of the architecture of the video cards and will compile on-the-fly the instructions according to the chip that is fitted inside the machine. Beyond the acceleration of video encoding and other mathematical calculations, one could imagine that Apple could also use this process for Open GL and can thus develop universal drivers for all the video cards. Thus, they
