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=rep1&type=pdf >
