Although we don't have any GPUs with AV1 fixed function units yet, do we?

I think there are no HW encoders or decoders for AV1 yet.
And I'm starting to believe that due to the complexity of the codec, it could be the first time that we will not see hybrid (GPU+CPU) decoders/ encoders and we will go straight to fixed-function decoders/encoders of AV1.
Agreed with your post above.
