As of february of 2022, only some devices have hardware AV1 decoding.
- On mobile devices : the Mediatek Dimensity 900 and above, the Exynos 2100 and above, the Google Tensor, and some other devices like the Amazon Fire TV 4K Max and other Android TV boxes.
- On PCs : any 10th gen or higher laptop Intel CPUs, any 11th gen or higher (except the F skus) desktop Intel CPUs. AMD laptop CPUs from the 6000 series. Any nVidia RTX 3000 series, any AMD GPU from the RX 6600 and above.
I will list below many chips capable of 720p AV1 software decoding in MPV :
----> In a nutshell, if your phone processor isn't in the list below, you'll have to test for yourself, but essentially any smartphone 8 cores processors manufactured after 2016/2017 should work perfectly fine.
