Abstract
A hardware processor has a per block size intra mode processor to perform intra mode searches for best intra modes for different block sizes. A cost processor computes cost values for the different block sizes, where the cost values are based upon at least one of a simplified distortion estimate or a simplified bit rate estimate. A selective block merger processor establishes a final partition of blocks.
