A core or two is not enough for high quality real-time encoding.

  Says who? Software encoding works just fine for current video call applications, and also most twitch streams, without using more CPU than that. If you mean AV1 specifically, do you think software encoders won't get anywhere near x264, which can do it in less than one core?

From what I understand, AV1’s encoding complexity is more like H.265 than H.264. It’d be more appropriate to look at the performance of x265 to see what might be possible.
