AV1 playback on TV platforms relies on hardware solutions, which generally take longer to be deployed. Throughout 2020 the industry made impressive progress on AV1 hardware solutions. For example, for titles where the source is 4K and high frame rate (HFR) such as “Formula 1: Drive to Survive” , we produce AV1 streams in 4K and HFR.

Because microprocessors are so fast, computer architecture design has evolved towards adding various levels of caching between compute units and the main memory, in order to hide the latency of bringing the bits to the brains. As an illustrative example, let’s consider a toy instance of 16 hyperthreads.
