He literally butchered the latest version of OpenCL in order to make CUDA the single greatest GPGPU API. But all these are just malpractice and market manipulation very well known to be handled by the leather-jacket-man. Regarding HW encoding SW, I could easily say that VCEEnc app for AMD cards is on par with NVEnc and QSVEnc for nVidia and Intel. But I was referring to AV1 HW decoding here, which all of the modern GPUs support. And Ampere's HW encoding is exactly the same like Turing. They didn't change it.

True. Still, NUCs are pretty well made, and offer 100% Intel hardware and drivers. Depending on the application this can be very preferable to a laptop. The integrated display, keyboard, mouse, and battery of a laptop can also be preferable in certain cases

Tbh were i live nuc have always offered rather good value tbh, i got a kaby lake one on release, I dont even think there were any laptops with hdmi 2.0 port at that point, which was pretty much a must for that machine. Last edited by excellentswordfight; 24th September 2020 at 20:02. |

Nuc is a nice concept, but ultimately a failed one, because they didn't push it hard enough. I'm surprised they even continue making these. The volumes are low and Intel isn't a motherboard/bios manufacturer...

They might have used the launch review driver which is older than the public driver but supports AV1 for some reason. Or it could have been a specific Google Chrome/VLC issue, PC World didn't use Chrome/VLC. But of course may be Computerbase did something wrong, not sure. |

I've not seen any hard numbers, but from what I've heard from insiders, it's relatively quite large. Bigger than estimates for VVC's decoders, and quite a bit bigger than HEVC and likely EVC.
This is a probable driver for why HW AV1 decode has been slow coming for mobile devices. Until it's in the Qualcomm 400 series SoC, it won't be on track for becoming universal. Hopefully someone here has more specifics. |

I had hopes that Chromecast 4 would use that chip but alas it only has the S905D3. With luck the next Fire TV Stick 4K model will use a similar chip to the S905X4. |

There seems to be an increase in AV1 availability on Youtube these last days... where until yesterday I rarely bumped into an AV1 enabled video, today I found a lot by simply watching the channels I usually watch. Maybe it's replacing VP9 sooner than we thought?

Probably due to the increased availability of hardware decoders.
I expect Netflix to follow the trend of AV1 stream availability due to the quality per bandwidth gain.
