Here are screen shots of the 1080P file, I tried to get from similar sections for comparison.

@Koying in Hiphopopotamus's Shield screenshots it shows 4 cores being used. Given that the Tegra X1 exposes all 8 cores to the userspace (according to anandtech) wouldn't Kodi be able to use all 8 cores? Is this being limited by android or would it be something complex to handle? Since the A53 cores are less powerful than the A57 ones it could be harder to distribute tasks between them I'm guessing... Anyway this is just curiosity

However, rather than a somewhat standard big.LITTLE configuration as one might expect, NVIDIA continues to use their own unique system. [...] which exposes all eight cores to userspace applications.
