Rocket Lake-S will use the Tiger Lake Xe graphics core, but it will be named as UHD Graphics 730 (24 EUs) and UHD Graphics 750 (32 EUs), according to leaked driver listings. A UHD Graphics P750 for the enterprise is also seen. Rocket Lake-S will only offer up to 32 EUs in order to accommodate the larger CPU cores.

Not confirmed or leaked yet, but I expect it to offer the exact same specs as the Tiger Lake Xe including AV1 decode support. Only the EU count is different.
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.
I don't get their marketing department's branding logic. They spend a ton of time and money putting out the word that Xe is the new great thing, replacing UHD graphics, then they rename Xe to UHD...
Does it support HDMI 2.1? I need 120Hz for my SONY TV.
