As part of Intel’s Scalable Video Technology (SVT) initiative they had been developing SVT-HEVC as a BSD-licensed high performance H.265/HEVC video encoder optimized for Xeon Scalable and Xeon D processors. But recently they’ve changed course and the project has been officially discontinued.

    I’d switch course to RISC-V

    And give up their only advantage? That would be insane. RISC-V isn’t quite mature enough to replace x86 anyway.

      They could, perhaps start investing in the maturity of RISC-V was my point (a pipe dream). I know it’s not there yet but that’s simply because there’s so much money to be made by licensing closed architectures like x86 and ARM. If RISC-V had parity with x86 or ARM, it would be able to best them someday, IMO.
