Huh, I stand corrected. I always figured they stuffed it in its own little bit of silicon. Thanks for clearing it up!

Intel does do this, they call it Quick Sync Video. There's support for it in vaapi. AV1 is only if you have a Gen12 iGPU or newer, or Arc.

I might just be bad at Google-fu, but my understanding is that -F processors don’t have Quick Sync, which seems to imply that the iGPU is required in some capacity.
