Summary

Ignacio Castaño analyzes hardware image compression formats (AFRC, PVRIC4, Metal lossy) and Vulkan fixed-rate compression, comparing quality (RMSE) and throughput against the Spark real-time encoder. The piece includes benchmark results across devices and discusses trade-offs, concluding AFRC generally offers superior quality while vendor support varies and native hardware compression may not be universally available yet.
