AV1 Video Codecs

AOMedia Video 1 (AV1) is an open, royalty-free video coding format designed for video transmissions over the Internet, and the fact that it is open-source means it will not be plagued by the licensing issues that held back the adoption of the previous generation of HEVC technology.
AV1 video codecs that are said to be capable of boosting video efficiency by 20% or more than HEVC, and saving 30% more bandwidth efficiency compared to H.265 or VP9. Currently, the AV1 technology already has the support of many streaming services, including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and YouTube.
All in all, there are no big difference between Amlogic S905X3 and S905X4 in terms of the TV box performance.
