| The Qualcomm marketing spec sheet mentions AV1 decoding: https://www.qualcomm.com/content/dam/qcomm-martech/dm-assets... Maybe that part of the driver isn't finished yet? |

| ▲ | jsheard 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Isn't the whole point of AV1 that it's royalty free, as opposed to H264/265/etc? | | |
| ▲ | saagarjha 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | For the codec, sure. But there can always be more restrictions on the IP block, driver code, etc. | |
| ▲ | ZeroCool2u 4 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Yeah, and the main problem with HEVC/H265 is the patent encumbrance. Very odd, but hopefully it's just coming a bit later. | |
| ▲ | TiredOfLife 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | It started like that. But now there are at least 2 different patent pools that want rent. |

| ▲ | jeroenhd 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | AV1 is designed to be license free, so unless they outsourced their driver development to another company I don't think there's anything to license. |
