Can Android renderscript run on GPU?

Are there any Android devices where renderscript executes on the GPU instead of the CPU, or is this something not yet implemented anywhere?

As of JellyBean 4.2 there is a direct GPU integration for renderscript. See this and this.

I cannot confirm with any official documentation for Google, but I work with RenderScript all day every day and each time I run it, I see the logcat report loading drivers for graphics chips in my devices, most notably Tegra 2. Google has really lagged in documenting RenderScript, and I would not at all be surprised if they simply havn't corrected this omission in their discussion.
