hardware support?
When does everyone think we'll get hardware decoding from intel chips?
I'm really frustrated with my laptops getting super hot just playing the most simple videos, google hangouts, etc.
For example, VP9 came out in 2013, and even today, 3 years later, we still don't have a chip that does full hardware decoding (only partial). Kaby Lake will resolve this, but it will have been 4 years. The same goes for HEVC.
Having a slightly smaller stream hardly matters to me if it means my cpu is spinning up to 50% utilization or higher.
AV1 seems to have everyone on board, but when will we get an igpu (macbooks/etc) that supports it? Kaby Lake is obviously out. Cannon Lake too soon?
I'm overdue for upgrading my laptop, but don't really want to wait 2 more years for this! I just want to play 4k videos on a macbook retina without the machine overheating. (Hell, even 720p or 1080p).
