Intel QuickSync usage in Premiere Pro CC/Media Encoder CC?

Since the last discussions about this are quite old (>4years) I wonder if anything happend?
Right now I can't find any settings/options beside CUDA to speed up final video-encoding.

This rig (i5 2500k@4.4GHz, 16GB RAM, GTX970) encodes at about 70-80fps@1080p on
CPU. Using CUDA I get approx. 100fps. QuickSync beats the sh*t out of that with 190fps.

For the average project (eg. Youtube) the QuickSync-quality is totally fine. Not to mention

for quick preview-renders if customers want to preview stuff on their projectors that's really

necessary. The workflow with frameserving and encoding using Handbreak is, honestly from
the service-viewpoint of Adobe, a joke.

So, please tell me how I get the Media Encoder to use QuickSync or the QuickSync-SDK?

How would you know that if it's not an option?

If the MediaEncoder isn't worse than Handbrake, than it will do the same encoding-framerate with the same material. Yeah, a free prog actually supports it while a fullprice-tool (assumeingly) doesn't.

As I said, it is ridicules I have to frameserve with a buggy workflow to get higher encoding-speeds.

If you want to add Quick Sync encoding to Premiere then you can buy the plug-in from TMPEG.  This supports Quick Sync and X.264. 

Adobe don't support QS encoding although recently they started using Intel Iris graphics to assist playback.
