Perhaps a bit of FPGA could be the key?
yeah.
Ethernet over UCB-C is still being discussed. So the FPGA might be handy
to
have when/if that mode is materialized.
A bit of FPGA would be nice to have anyway. Media codecs keep on changing and would extend the life of the SoC.
at the expense of power consumption.
If you're trying to trans-code something that you don't have a co-processor/module for you're forced to CPU/GPU trans-coding. Would a FPGA still be more power huns gry then?
I think/hope FPGA's are more efficient for specific tasks then CPU/GPU's
We can always have evolution create a efficient decoder ;-) https://www.damninteresting.com/on-the-origin-of-circuits/ http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.50.9691&rep=rep...
