So how likely is it that RS compute vs. OpenCL will go same way ? Many of
the platform and IP vendors (ARM, ZiiLabs, Intel, nvidia, Qualcomm, imgtec
etc) are pushing OpenCL for mobile. Is this not the same situation ?

Huh, correct in my book. Although it was always supposed to be
understood that the underlying graphics engine today is running CPU
bound only, which makes it somewhat pointless in its

Let's recap:
- Renderscript Graphics has always been hardware accelerated
- Renderscript Compute is currently CPU bound but with the for_each
construct it will take advantage of multiple cores immediately
- Renderscript Compute was designed to run on the GPU and/or the CPU

The point is that, according to the 4.1 release notes, we should no
longer use Renderscript Graphics:
The cool APIs of today are the deprecated APIs of tomorrow !

they preferred to use OpenGL directly because of familiarity portability
It was always a poorly thought out API (design was interesting, but
strategically it made no sense), so not surprised it's being deprecated.
