Utter rubbish. 1080p hardware decoding is widespread in mobile SoCs, and 4k decode is starting to appear. The Tegra X1 can handle 4k60 content in hardware decode, others will get the same capabilities.
Media consumption consists of decoding a handful of common codecs- a perfect problem for dedicated hardware. You don't need an 8 core Haswell.
Uh, playing video takes almost no processing power. The original comment was about editing 4k. Beyond that, let me see that mobile junk do some 4k gaming / 3D rendering with some actual textures (you know, something beyond Nintendo 64 textures). Considering that SLI / Crossfire setups with 8 core Haswells struggle to push that level of detail -- all that mobile junk doesn't even get remotely close.
