Not really. The only thing that needs to be offloaded is the record encapsulation (the format of which has remained backwards compatible) and the encryption/decryption (which is limited to AES-GCM for all intents and purposes). The handshake and the control messages can still be handled in software, since those aren't in the critical path.
