Adobe Premiere Pro to Get More GPU Acceleration and Optimization
Adobe is releasing an important feature update to Premiere Pro later this week, which promises to introduce significant improvements to video encoding performance by better leveraging GPU acceleration. The new version 14.2 of Premiere Pro will leverage NVENC to boost encoding by over 5 times compared to CPU. The suite leveraged shaders to accelerate video effects and improving export times, but until now hadn't leveraged NVIDIA's hardware encoder. For machines with GeForce and Quadro GPUs, this means improved export times on H.264, H.265, and HEVC codecs. Without getting into specifics, Adobe mentioned that Premiere Pro will tap into video hardware acceleration capabilities of AMD Radeon GPUs, too.
Update 07:55 UTC: Adobe posted release notes of the latest version 14.2 of Premiere Pro. The list of system requirements needed for hardware-accelerated H.264 and HEVC encoding appears vague beyond pointing out that you need a compatible graphics solution. The list of compatible GPUs includes a wide selection of NVIDIA GPUs covering both its professional Quadro and consumer GeForce brands. On the AMD front, however, only the professional Radeon Pro SKUs are listed, and no consumer Radeon RX series SKUs.

OpenCL is a dead API.
In compute tasks like video, a Radeon VII chokes a Quadro RTX 5000 out on perf vs dollars.
There are replacements for OpenCL and they are gaining traction, they have feature sets with ease of use that challenge the walled garden of CUDA.
If AMD asks for industry-wide open support, then it's better for Nvidia to reconsider...
Because bad things happen to such companies - they should look at Intel for an example and fear the future.
In scientific computing, most GCN based cards are useless due to broken OpenCL support. Open standard means jackshit when you provide 0 effort in supporting the developers as well as the entire user community. At GPU compute what matters is the execution of tasks, the attention to details and the support to developers.
I do admit AMD/RTG GPU are VERY good at mining crypto-coins though.

Also, OpenCL? pffffffffff
This is the definitive characteristics of fanboys. Whenever truth is told they get upset and start winning again. And reading comprehension is just 0.
