Originally posted by caligula View PostIt doesn't matter if you decode using GPGPU cores or DSP, the process node advancements still apply. I'm just saying super low power devices could decode H264 already 8 years ago. Now I have a fairly recent 14nm Intel chipset and the CPU load is around 70% (single core) when playing 720p H264 in Firefox.

Of course a real implementation will apply some tricks, but still... There is a reason why specialized hardware is a win when doing video conversions!
