Would you use the "first SoC to ship with hardware VP9 encode" if it meant you have to suck dicks daily?

Too bad it will be on an iPhone without a usable mobile operating system and microsd slot.

[Isaiah Lewis]

have a source?

Either way that's pretty cool. Any desktop GPUs that do this?

[Thomas Perez]

What does a mobile OS need to be usable?

[Dylan Cruz]

Poo in the fucking loo Rajeesh.

>VP9 encode
what's the point? like, Nvidia's high-end mobile chipsets can do video encoding but those are getting used for streaming for shit like Plex on the Shield TV. what's Apple going to use this for?

Not be iOS.

[Aiden Martinez]

maybe for encoding their "live pictures" or video?

[Ethan Collins]

Not an argument.
