Here is an up-to-date performance comparison of aomdec vs dav1d (I believe some of the tests are still running as I write this)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...gid=1835354908
Single-Threading, it still loses in some cases on SSE 4.1 CPUs (aom implements mostly SSE4.1 for pre-AVX), but Multi-Threading it makes up for that.
One missing part is
prep_8tap, which can have a decent impact.
Their goal for releasing dav1d 0.2.0 is to be faster then aomdec in 8-bit in all targeted scenarios.
