I'm sure it's better now than 13 years ago, but the conclusion I got from looking at very recent published benchmark results is that lossy webp is still only slightly better than mozjpeg at low bitrates and still has worse max. PQ

That's a very good point. At this rate of development I wouldn't be surprised if libjxl becomes x264 of image encoders. On the other hand, libvpx has always been a mediocre encoder which I think might be the reason for disappoint

I'm surprised mozjpeg performed worse than libjpeg-turbo at high quality settings. I thought its aim was having better pq than libjpeg-turbo at the expense of speed.

Timestamp 14:43. Both mediatek, A710 is worse despite being on a better node. At 15:45, you can see they even managed to fuck up the little cores in that A510 has worse efficiency than A55.

It isn't competing with Google on Blink development, it's simply adding support for the new JPEG image standard (which they're probably going to have as a system codec anyway in that case). Note that they've had HEVC pl
