is the 8 bpp x265 even alive?



how does AV1 handle this is this even comparable?



isn't a 8 bit quality pipe absolutely impossible anyway? just the level/RGB conversation pretty much proves it or even the chroma upscale.
There is a significant but shrinking number of devices, mainly handheld, that support 8-bit HEVC but not 10-bit.

More common is devices with 10-bit decoders that then feed into 8-bit compositors, GPUs, or display controllers.
