Why do companies like Intel, AMD, or fabless semiconductor startups license IP like Endeavour rather than building their own?
| Metric | x265 | Endeavour (Typical Implementation) | |--------|------|--------------------------------------| | | 5–15 fps (on a single CPU core) | 1–3 fps (higher complexity RDO) | | Compression efficiency | Baseline | 10–25% better at same PSNR | | Latency | 100–300 ms (with lookahead) | As low as 10 ms (tile/slice mode) | | Memory footprint | ~2 GB per 4K stream | Up to 8 GB (due to large CTU and search buffers) | endeavour hevc
