Re: Bringing AV1 Streaming to Netflix Members’ TVs
#2Are there any major SOCs that support AV1 right now? It seems like every device under the sun supports hardware h264 and HEVC decoding/encoding, but other than that hardware sometimes seems lacking.

#3So they are not using it with hdr yet, which is probably what all those new TVs that do support av1 support as well, meaning they won't get av1?

Intel mentions AV1 in the product brief for 11th gen [0], which was released last year (~?). The framework laptop uses a 12th gen chip for example... maybe I should try it.

#5This quote is around a bit "AV1 is being billed as a codec that is 30% more efficient than current-gen codecs, such as HEVC (H.265) and VP9"
I'd guess it's from here -
AV1 beats x264 and libvpx-vp9 in practical use case - https://engineering.fb.com/2018/04/10/video-engineering/av1-...
That's amazing. That means Netflix is better than most of the scene releases, I guess?

The LG a9 processor found in newer LG TVs supports it. Mediatek, Amlogic, Broadcom and Rockchip all have SOCs which play in this space and support AV1 decode.

The framework laptop uses 11th gen, not 12th.
