Encoding speed is a real concern for some applications.
Think about Chromoting (Chrome Remote Desktop). They send VP9 video. If they cannot encode it at 60Hz (15ms per frame), it will look choppy.
(I quickly looked into it yesterday: https://twitter.com/espadrine/status/648158704420941825 https://twitter.com/espadrine/status/648158704420941825)
- simoncion 11y agoI 110% understand the appeal of 60+fps encoding, and the requirement to do so for certain applications. However, I'm reminded of all of the very useful work I and my colleagues were able to do while using Remote Desktop or VNC over a 56kbit/s or 128kbit/s connection. Choppy remoting is far from a dealbreaker for folks who need to get things done. :)
- lbenes 11y agoChrome has done so much right, why did they develop a case of NIHS with this? I've RDP'd to machine IN CHINA with better performance than I got connecting my uncle across town. The devs that came up with the harebrained idea, should be forced use it with a standard $299 chromebook, not their dev Pixel. Normal chrombooks are way too under powered for this.
