Yeah no. All chips in computers, tablets, etc. have hardware decode. Intel chips have hardware decode. AMD, Arm, Raspberry Pi, what have you.

I’m pretty sure no x86 chip has hardware decode/encode for audio. Together with dGPUs, they tend to have decoders for JPEG and decoders/encoders for H.264, H.265, AV1 and sometimes VP9.

They have hardware decoders for JPEG? I have never heard of this and it seems overkill considering how simple it is to decode.

Seems like Nvidia doesn’t support JPEG in NVDEC.
