Okay, an intermediate GPU based codec that's really fast.
Interesting.

This struck me though:

"...working in 8K for postproduction and even broadcast streaming is inevitable."

And this:

"...the industry is already talking 8K..."

Seriously?

Where does this article ever mention "quality"? We already know that "resolution" is not equal to "quality", at least since there are smartphone cameras with dot lenses producing a quite average quality of dozens of megapixels, because the smaller the lens and the sensors are, the less precise the whole system is.

Furthermore, it's an article about a decoder. So what? It is fast, nice. For playback. And then? But such video streams need to be encoded (very slow, very energy consuming) and broadcasted (here is the limit of the quality: in the network bandwidth).

The writer of the article did not think about amateurs, but about big studios...

There were HEVC 8K videocamera recording tests in 2011!!!
