H.266 is coming out and like H.265 does the same quality at half the data rate

So the H.266 video compression standard has been announced, and just like H.265 it again cuts the data rate by half while keeping the same quality, which is very impressive.

And this will be great for video streaming and camera compression and the like, but once again it is going to be very processor intensive, and from what I have seen not many people are even using H.265 because it is so processor intensive both on compression side and playback side, and H.266 will be so much more processor intensive.

Better compression for video is always a good thing, but it will be a while before anyone sees any benefits from this.
