The Intel SVT-VP9 Performance Boost Across 10 Intel/AMD Systems Here are some benchmarks that Phoronix has done to illustrate the massive performance boost versus competing methods:Ģ7 CPUs Benchmarked With AOM AV1, Intel SVT VP9/AV1/HEVC Video Encoders Intel seems to be leveraging multithread and SIMD optimization to a very high degree to be achieving such framerates. As for the performance, I was literally stunned. Anyone that's ever done encoding/transcoding through software knows that the process can be long and laborious dependent on the size of the source file and the quality of the output, but despite several hardware solutions that are exceedingly fast, many still prefer to go through the software route for higher quality.īut what if software encoding/transcoding could be done many times faster while still achieving high quality? That's what Intel's SVT hopes to accomplish.

I'm not too much into encoding/transcoding, but I just came across a new line of codecs Intel is developing called SVT, or scalable video technology.
