Intel has hardware support for h264 encoding since 2012 and h265 in modern chips.

There is more details about using that hardware encoding in FFMpeg: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Hardware/QuickSync.

It's already added. In the FFmpeg codecs, see Mp4 (HEVC Intel QSV | AAC). The performance of H.265/HEVC is similar to FFmpeg's x264 when using Intel Quick Sync. Quick Sync H.264 did not seem to add much improvement over x264 so was not added.
