Google Duo rolls out realtime AV1

Yup, came here to ask whether or not anyone knows of any hardware shipping with AV1 decoding.

Still though, battery concerns aside, massive kudos to Google here for helping to advance a technology that is so important to OSS.

The only thing I know of is Intel's upcoming RocketLake which has AV1 acceleration. It _looks_ like it's both encoding and decoding.

It's exciting to see more mainstream adoption of AV1 which will surely drive HW acceleration forward, but it's disappointing that Apple hasn't been more proactive here.

I saw that new TVs are starting to ship with AV1 decoders since it seems highly likely that netflix will move that way soon.

Netflix is already testing AV1 in production. If you enable test participation you may receive AV1 streams right now. Youtube is also now sending AV1 streams, including to newer smart TVs.
