Do CPUs have fixed video decoders? I thought those were only included in GPUs, including iGPUs.

Yes, every Intel consumer CPU has included a hardware video block since Haswell, called Quick Sync Video.

That block is a part of the included iGPU though.

Intel CPUs without iGPU, like the F-series, do not support QSV.
