For video encoding, things like OMAP/et al already give you hardware video encoding next to the ARM, usually based on an arm "DSP" like cortex m3/m4.
Given this is infinitely cheaper than using general purpose cores, why wouldn't you just build yourself an army of cortex m3/m4's and use them for video encoding now.
ARM doesn't really need to do anything here to make this happen. Since they give you all the chip related stuff necessary to build your own, just go and do it. If you want 64 m3's, go make it.
