> older Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo are processors from 16 years ago... Mobile phones are more powerful than those machines...

  Yes, most are. That Core 2 Duo machine is the weakest hardware I have that I know can decode H.264 lower bitrate FullHD content in software. It made for a good benchmarking baseline.

    And those machine cannot decode H265 in software… Sorry but you cannot say dav1d software decoding is bad on phones because some hardware from 15 years ago who can barely decode H264 cannot decode it.

      It will drain your device battery pretty fast because of high CPU usage. There's nothing good about such a performance. It's just bad.

        As all software decoders… So you compare software to hardware decoders? H265 or VP9 in software are the same… Here, we managed to have a sw decoder for a format that is one order of magnitude more complex than those codecs and yet, consume less CPU.

          "So you compare software to hardware decoders?" No. I understand your vitriol, but please just stop. I'm not demeriting AV1's technical basis.
