Yes. GPU encoding is relatively new. And it's limited to very specific software to do so. I've seen as much as an 800% increase in speed in encoding over CPU based encoding/converting of video.
There's a really small set of software that use the GPU for anything other than graphics, but the list is growing all the time. SETI@home is on that uses the GPU now and it can process data SOOOOO much faster than cpu alone.

Yep. Tons of stuff coming out that'll run on a GPU now. Hackers have password cracking utilities that run by a factor of 1000 faster than on CPU. Amazing technology. By in large though, it's very specialized and not something the average Joe would be using.
