> it can handle 720p AV1 video. I did get a few dropped frames
I'm sorry for being ambiguous. I meant encoding, not decoding. In my opinion an average PC should be able to encode at least some minutes of video in reasonable time.
Whatever, having to recourse to frame dropping (even in a negligible degree) means having 100% CPU or IO load already reached, doesn't it? 100% load on 720p playback sounds bizarre. I have been accustomed to any video playback taking just a few percents on any old computer with Intel graphics.
Encoding on a PC is an edge case, especially on software. Just hardware encode H264 at that point

it's using like 160% of a hyperthreaded core, so not even completely saturating a laptop from 2015 (8 years ago) - I don't know why it needs to drop frames though (single core too slow?)
