- Waterluvian 8y agoDon't they have special chips just for decompressing specific video formats? Ie. Why I noticed some time ago that suddenly phones stopped chugging power just to watch YouTube.
- solarkraft 8y agoYes. Those "coprocessors" are special circuits on the SoC, typically somewhere on the CPU sillicon.
- saagarjha 8y agoNot sure about special chips, but yes, most processors have hardware encoding/decoding for common video formats.
