Plus modern codecs are quite linearly data dependent which is a bad for for a GPU.
- ilaksh 8y agoBut aren't movies rendered to the screen? My understanding is most smartphones at least have hardware decoding for H264.
- semi-extrinsic 8y agoExactly, a GPU needs to have specific hardware (a dedicated ASIC) for H264 acceleration. It's not accelerated by the usual GPU hardware, which is sufficiently general-purpose that an accelerator running there would not be codec specific.
