My question is, is XBMC going to see the same multi-threading issues with the h.265 decoder once it exists? We'll see software implimentations on a lot of hardware long before we'll see hardware implimentations. Even on my A8-3670K running at 3.3ghz, it's not enough for single threaded decoding of 10bit in a few cases (Mostly where noise or static like effects occupy the whole frame of the video). Without multi-threading I don't see even flawless 1080p h.265 being possible on a huge portion of hardware and 4k will just flat out not happen at all.
