* Transconding at this CPU level was not watchable
VP8 encoding is used for WEBM leveraged by Internet Explorer 11 and Firefox.
H.264 encoding is used by Microsoft Edge browsers.
The Mezzmo Web Client was set for 2.5 mb/s maximum bandwidth.
The fps is frames per second and the % is CPU utilization. The testing was done
with an AMD FX-8120, and an Intel i7-4790K processor. The IQS testing was done
with the I7-4790k. The nVidia testing was done with a GTX 970 video card.
Additional transcoding results
This testing is software only results leveraging the Mezzmo web client access
on a Ryzen 3700X processor with the transcoding
priority set to medium. The first set of results would be for a typical
LAN environment. The second for a WAN connection.
