It depends how much you value efficiency. ARM shackles you with soldered-everything but it gives you great performance/watt. For example most phones seem to be able to encode preset 8 AV1 full 1080p video at 20-40 FPS. Slow compared to 100W desktop CPUs but when you factor in that it's only using a few watts of electricity to achieve this it's pretty cool.

Most people probably wouldn't care and the fact that there isn't a big phone video encoding scene pretty much supports this. I mean running a 100W CPU all day long will barely make a dent in the electricity bill.

Does anyone else encode video with SVT-AV1 on their phone? I find the energy efficiency aspect fascinating.

#!/bin/bash
for f in *.mov; do
ffmpeg -i "$f" -c:v libsvtav1 \
-preset 8 -crf 40 \
-c:a libopus -b:a 128k "${f%.mov}.webm"
