Bringing AV1 Streaming to Netflix Members’ TVs
netflixtechblog.comAre 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.
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.

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

Whoops thanks for the correction.
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.
all new TVs should support it, I know my LG does
So 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?
