M2 doesn't have AV1 hardware decode.
My guess is that the next shot is with a TSMC N3E chip, which _may_ debut with iPhone 15 Pro. There's been conflicting reports if N3E will be ready when Apple needs it - September 2023 if it's for iPhone 15.
N3E based M3 Macbook Pro with hardware raytracing and hardware accelerated AV1 decode/encode would be nice.
