The Intel SVT-VP9 Performance Boost Across 10 Intel/AMD Systems

[milkylainen]

SVT is one of Intels ongoing efforts to make "Software instead of Hardware" solutions to problems.
If they were serious about it they would add H264 already.
It would make SVT realtime encoding a possibility on a bucketload of CPUs today without eating the CPU to bits as in the h265 case.

So pretty please Santa. With sugar on top. Will you bring H264 to the SVT-suite?

Flaburgan if there is a difference between windows and linux it would probably OS fault (or compiler maybe) and not the code itself.

It wouks be very nice to have a windows comparison to see if software can still be improved.

I wonder why the 7980XE saw so little of an improvement. As a result, Intel basically inadvertently gave Epyc the lead.

They also made lots of their own CPUs usable.

Because the 7980XE has AVX-512 so it was already taking the optimized route.

Ah whoops I just saw that written in the article.
I should read more thoroughly...

GREAT numbers.
Now with AMD 2xxx and 3xxx, please.
Thanks Michael!

Phoronix: The Intel SVT-VP9 Performance Boost Across 10 Intel/AMD Systems

As a follow-up from this weekend's article about Intel's SVT-VP9 video encoder running much faster on AVX2 CPUs from both Intel and AMD, here are the results now before/after for ten different systems with this open-source CPU-based VP9 video encoder...
