AMD, please use Xilinx to develop a much better chip and engine for Video Encoding and Video Decoding. Set it up for Vulkan encode/decode or something better than what you already have. Nvidia dominates this market in Video encode/decode with nvdec and nvenc.

So true. AMD has mostly treated this as an realtime end-user, single-stream sort of feature. Not faster-than-realtime or N-streams, like their competitors. I think AMD's CDNA chips should at least have beefed-up decoders, but I don't know any specifics.

So far, Intel chips aren't bad, for using mere DDR4 memory. It'll be interesting to see what sorts of encoding/transcoding loads their dGPUs can handle.
