It's not the 1080p that's the problem..a 2W ASIC can decode that..
The problem is real world video like 1080i & scaling DVD 576i/480i.
De-interlacing/scaling/denoise/sharpening etc..
Frame-rate doubling for 24p BDs.

The 210/520/610 are just a wasted opportunity & reward manufacturers for
churning out stuff with misleading claims.

There is nothing wrong with the decoder in 610..apparently the 600's can
decode 2x 1080p streams.
And they are dirt cheap/low power & low profile/fanless.
