Where is the video decoder unit located though?

CPU to be sure. However, low power video decoders are really nothing new for Intel or AMD.

Also, the codec being decoded matters a lot. H.264 is trivial to decode at this point while something like AV1 will require a bit more power to decode.

Video decode is part of the GPU, not CPU. They are on the same tile in Lunar Lake though.
