Intel to release Quick Sync powered HEVC encoder soon?

[deadrats]

i was just over at the intel developer zone when i ran across this:

https://software.intel.com/en-us/vcsource/tools/media-sdk-clients

Intel® Media Software Development Kit 2014 HEVC Software Pack

The Intel® Media Software Development Kit (Intel Media SDK) HEVC Software Pack is a set of software development libraries (plug-ins) and tools that expose the HEVC (ISO*/IEC* 23008-2 MPEG-H Part 2 or ITU-T* H.265 standard) decode and encode acceleration capabilities of Intel® platforms. Try the HEVC Software Pack on us for 30 days, or purchase the full product for $999.00.

this is very interesting, i wonder if this would allow a developer to create a partially QS accelerated hevc encoder, perhaps by reusing the parts from the hardware h264 encoder, like cabac, that overlap with hevc.

or maybe intel upcoming platform that is due to be released towards the end of the years will feature a fully QS powered hevc encoder.

I am new here in this forum.
I am looking for a good HEVC encoder solution and also working on HEVC encoder algorithm.
Have you or anyone tried this Intel HEVC software pack, and how is its performance?

Appreciate your help!
