Are there any CPU+GPU pipelines that improve the speed without decreasing quality to the level of current GPU-only algorithms?

Seems strange that we have so much compute power in GPU, but no algorithms to use it well for encodes

"GPU encoders" don't use the GPU themselves (shader cores), they use another tiny CPU attached to the GPU. GPGPU does not really help with compression much.
