Xilinx's statement [1] hints at FPGAs getting deployed in datacenters to accelerate AV1 encoding, which should tremendously improve performance (it seems more likely to me that the quoted 10x improvement is against a mature/optimized encoder, although I could be wrong). Google has (will?) published a verilog implementation, so in theory, you could put that on a FPGA you have lying around.
