The Amlogic S905, also known as Meson GXBB, is a media player system-on-chip which is mainly used in Android set top boxes. It's capable of hardware decoding up to 4K@60fps, for multiple formats including H.264, AVS+, and 10-bit, and part of the S9 family of Amlogic chipsets.
The's also the Amlogic S905-H SoC, which includes Dolby/DTS licenses, but otherwise it's quite similar to the S905.

Status
Hardware decoding and encoding
The Amlogic S905(-H) supports hardware decoding up to 4K@60fps, but in the mainline kernel it's limited to 1080p. Downstream kernels relied on lengthy hacks to get it working up to 4K, and thus they were not included in the mainline kernel (to their defense Amlogic did successfully enable 4K playback on 3.x kernels).
