Now that I've got my hands on an X2 Elite system, I decided to create a definitive hardware encode/decode list similar to what I did for the X1 platform. All decode codecs are up to 8k resolution except for VP9 which only supports up to 4k. Hardware encode includes support up to 8k.

Interesting to see no APV hardware or even software support here since it was announced during last years' Snapdragon Summit and was part of the mobile chip, 8 Elite Gen 5.

Note that any codecs with the 'x' will still work but use CPU/software encode/decode rather than the GPU. There is also hardware (MediaFoundation) support for WMV, but I am not sure who uses that anymore, so I did not include it.

If anyone has any questions, please let me know and I will try and answer them or test things out for you.

For the longest time only the emulated x64 version was available but now there is a full Arm native version that runs SO much faster. They claim up to 30% performance improvement!

Note that if you already have the beta version installed you must uninstall and reinstall to get the native Arm version: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/39773989-support-for-windows-64-bit-arm64-e-g-snapdragon
