Intel's new chips have the latest video format that could solve streaming service's biggest issue, but it might be a while before your TV gets it

Intel Lunar Lake concept .

What if I told you that there was a way to make the quality of movies and TV shows you watch through the best streaming services better, even if your Wi-Fi isn’t the greatest? It sounds ideal, right? Well, I've got some good news and bad news…

The good news is that the next-gen video codec, Versatile Video Codec (VVC), also known as H.266, has arrived in Intel’s latest chips (as reported by FlatpanelsHD). The bad news? These chips, which are part of the Intel Core 200 series launched at IFA 2024 (also known as Lunar Lake, which are set to do battle with AMD and Qualcomm), are coming first to a range of "AI PC’s" from the likes of Lenovo, Asus, Acer, Dell, Samsung and more at the end of September 2024.
