Plug-in for Premiere Pro CS4 on FirePro accelerates video encoding 8X

About a month ago, AMD announced a new beta plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 that uses the GPU to significantly accelerate video encoding performance.The plug-in enabled encoding an H.264, 1440x1080i 29.97 frames-per-second, High Quality file in 47.3s. Without the plug-in, Adobe Premiere Pro encoded the same file in 372.5s . That’s an 8-fold faster encode time!

But I was waiting to get confirmation that this was across both Radeon and FirePro lines.
Seems that is the case.

As noted previously, FirePro drivers automatically accelerate many functions in PhotoShop CS4 including image rotation, zooming, panning, anti-aliased compositing of both 2D and 3D content, brush resizing and brushstroke preview, 3D movement, high-dynamic- range tone mapping, and color conversion.
