Well it doesn't change the fact we are still shipping ˜1.3B Smartphone annually. Apple, Samsung, Qualcomm, and Huawei together would be 90% of the SoC Market. You could expect close to 80% of Smartphone to have a hardware decoder within 4 year if the Big four act together.
That is all of course, assuming they dont repeat the stupid mistake of HEVC patent pool. ( Still pointing my anger at Qualcomm )
And if anyone like me is keeping an eye on MC-IF, things are *not* looking good.
