Snow Leopard will revolutionize the drivers for video cards?

Roughlydrafted 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 would have finally become masters of the situation and have graphic drivers able to compete with those of NVidia and AMD, who take time to polish the drivers that run under Windows.
So in the absolute sense, this business could be fragile and potentially a big waste of time. However it is necessary to keep in mind that the trend in architecture is to have more and more cores that are often under exploited and which would have time to spare for these video encoding. It appears that the goal of Snow Leopard is to maximize the use of all the cores.
