I updated my Chrome browser to ver. 84 Beta. and find that my 1 year old core i7 with Windows 10 does not support h/w acceleration for video and audio encode and decode!
How can we get a list of CPU version or PC/Laptop models where h/w support is available?

chromeOS and android options are usually unavailable on Windows 10 ...

Really! How one is supposed to even know that? Should not Chrome detect the platform and not show the flags that are not relevant?
BTW - Some other source informs me that if you certain GPU card, it will use it BUT there is no definitive information anywhere and which GPU cards are supported.

But screen shot I shared is for Windows PC and it shows options for hardware encoding but reports that my core i7 PC does not support h/w acceleration?
I am just trying to get some idea as to what hardware configuration running Windows 10 is compatible with h/w acceleration support in Chrome.

I don't believe any recently introduced HW acceleration for WebRTC on other platforms is hooked to this old setting at the moment.
The pipeline is the same as for regular video acceleration, so any setting applying to non WebRTC hardware video encode or decode may apply (but I haven't tried to confirm this).

It would be really great to know where and how h/w acceleration is used. When I benchmark Zoom vs. WebRTC call via browser - CPU consumption difference is 3x or more and on iPhone and Galaxy phones, battery will drain to 'zero' in less than an hour of video call if ran in browser.
I am stressing this issue to either accelerate support for h/w encode or if it is there create awareness about how to enable.
