    Wonder if I’ll get HW coding.

    It will not :(

    It basically always fixed function, eg they would literally have to etch it into the silicon. If it’s not already there, you ain’t getting it.

    The Xbox One did get a GPU shader decoder, IIRC. But that was an absolute crack project built out of necessity and a lot of financial interest (as its CPU was really bad).
