Well, it is meant to COMPLETELY DESTROY THE DREAMS OF VCC (h266) SUPPORTERS- I mean, it's 30% more efficient compared to AV1 as others pointed out.
Also, this means we're approaching a moment where most of our devices decode AV1 natively without use of dav1d (although I still use it since sometimes hardware decoders for some reason mess up shit)
