8K decoding needs HW acceleration, unless having 8-16 cores with AVX-512.
replyYes, but that's way out of budget for most consumers.
replyActually not really, Lunar Lake chips with Xe2 graphics have VVC decoding in hardware which can do 8K.
replyThey were likely saying that 8K displays are way out of budget for most consumers.
replyI could also imagine the decoded output being pluggable into Vulkan-based filters (mpv uses https://code.videolan.org/videolan/libplacebo) without slow device->host copying.
