Wow. To me, the big news here is that ~30% of devices now support AV1 hardware decoding. The article lists a bunch of examples of devices that have gained it in the past few years. I had no idea it was getting that popular -- fantastic news!

So now that h.264, h.265, and AV1 seem to be the three major codecs with hardware support, I wonder what will be the next one?

I mean... I bought a Samsung TV in 2020, and it already supported AV1 HW decoding.

2020 feels close, but that's 5 years.

Two years ago I bought a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 phone (TSMC 4nm, with 12 GB LPDDR RAM, 256 GB NAND flash, and a 200 megapixel camera). It still feels pretty modern but it has no AV1 support.
