Actually, considering how old h264 is and the amount of extra cpu time HEVC needs in order to actually see those benefits, I can't say I'm overly impressed with the improvements. That said this will most likely hold just as true for AV1.

Need something to back this up with.

From what I've read, it's built on VP10, which was supposed to be the VP9 successor, and is now to become AV1.

Are you seriously pretending to be mature while using words like 'freetard' ? And then accusing others of being 'fanboys' while sounding like a MPEG LA advertising pamphlet...

No argument that h264 is a great codec, but with the vast pool of patents at the MPEG LA disposal, and the hinderance they pose for alternate codecs to appear which in turn could have been better had they not have to work around what is often ridiculously broad patents, it's not surprising.

That's your opinion.
