AV1 "decoding-in-hardware", meaning presence of dedicated logic on die, is a feature of Intel Gen11, Intel Gen12, and NVIDIA RTX 3000 products.
If you wish to stream AV1 content right now, available on Netflix and YouTube, but have a different platform, make sure to install the AV1 decoder available from Microsoft Store, which is the industry-standard implementation called "Dav1d". You should get great Full HD experience with it, as it leverages SIMD registers, SSE2 and up, to extend AV1 support coverage to any recent CPU.
"Dav1d" can also now take advantage of your GPU, by "off-loading" work from CPU - for greater resolutions and framerates, like 8K 4:2:0. You can check "Task manager" to see if your GPU is running the Dav1d shaders (WDDM 2.6+ driver required), which is categorized as general GPU utilization level.

Does it have AV1 decoder like mobile 11gen Tiger Lake?
