That is something you missed. Xe SLI equal is implemented on CXL in the Data centre. So in Intel data centre GPU cards like Ponte Vecchio full CXL is there. Arc is you general consumer targeted cards. If a consumer version in Arc is released with CXL time will tell. With CXL being Intel SLI equal its kinda a matter of time I would say.
The reality here we are heading into change. At the start of a change the software normal does not exist. Hardware has to come first.
The reality here with AMD and Nvidia signed on for CXL is more of a matter of time until we have AMD and Nvidia CXL cards at least in the Data centre. Once we have more than 1 brand that support CXL then a matter time before we start seeing software exploiting this means to transfer directly GPU to GPU crossing brands.

There is more to it. FPGA/ASIC are normally after to have a quality closer to that of CPU rendering. There can be lot of quality difference depending on what hardware accelerator for media encoding you use.
The reality is here there advantages to using the Intel media encoder over the Nvidia media encoder at times. When this can be done without heavy CPU overhead we should expect software supporting it to appear.
This is more a matter of time in my option. The benchmarking of different hardware media encoders being intel, amd, nvidia and other vendors shows they are not direct 1 to 1 replacements with each other. Horrible as it sounds you might want to encode in all and on the cutting room floor(video editor) keep the sections that came out the best.
