Dav1d is already optimize AVX2 (~50% market share)
Now they will begin optimizing for SSS3 and SSE4.1 that all CPU have.
They not know if it will work fine with just this two extensions...
1) You must think that this codec will not be mainstream until there are some HW encoders (6 months to 1 more year for Big Companies have a custom HW encoder)
2) If a Celerons can't decode 1080p with dav1d, the player have two options: serve another codec, or serve the same codec with less resolution.
If you are big enough like youtube you can serve H264 to that HW and save bandwidth with the majority
Or, it's just fine to serve AV1 720p videos to Celerons, and more to the others. (they shouldn't be too picky).
For sure 8k video will be only be serve with AV1 in Youtube, like today VP9 is for >1080p.
