If it’s a fast 8-core ARM or something, software decode should be feasible, especially if the GPU was leveraged for some operations. Decoder optimization is a LOT easier and faster than encoder optimization, since there is only one right answer for decoding. We’ll have a good idea of the potential performance of AV1 decoders way before we will for encoders.
