No, they both involve software, writing to a framebuffer. (By software, I mean code - software/firmware/etc). A crappy 'hardware' accelerated GPU can be slower

A crappy 'hardware' accelerated GPU can be slower than a 'software' framebuffer write.
My point was that saying "It's hardware accelerated" is meaningless marketing speak.
