Geekbench is one of the mainstay synthetic benchmarks we use in reviewing laptops here at The Verge. I’ve always liked how ...
With AV1 hardware decode on mo­bile devices stuck in the mid-to-low teens as of 2025, and with VVC at zero, it’s clear that the race to supplant H.264 and HEVC will be contested with software-only ...
The reason physical media is a better choice.
A recent paper from Friedrich-Alexander University benchmarks energy consumption and compression efficiency for six video codecs across software and hardware decoders. While the study uses VP9 as a ...
You don’t notice good video compression—until it’s not there. For years, people have streamed high-resolution video without thinking about the tech behind it. But when companies clash over which ...
A programmable terahertz chip combines penetrative sensing, nonvolatile optical encoding, and hardware preprocessing, classifying vehicle motion with 92.3% accuracy and recovering encoded information ...
