Is that a punch line? Because it sounds like one. What is that, like, 6.25% of your total CPU power?
I say this because many people have machines with CPUs that can't decode 4K 60fps video in realtime at all. So your stat sounds like a great deal to me.
Having said that, hardware video decoding is important for this very reason. It's a shame that the situation isn't better on Linux. It seems like, no matter what site or browser--Chrome or Firefox--VLC always plays the same video with far less CPU usage.
- robert_foss 10y agoIt is problematic especially for newer codecs like h265 which uses approximately 3x the CPU cycles. Which pushes you beyond what a single core is capable off.
