Opus Codec Encoding

Opus is an open audio codec. Opus is a lossy audio compression format designed primarily for interactive real-time applications over the Internet. This test uses Opus-Tools and measures the time required to encode a WAV file to Opus five times.

To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark encode-opus.

WAV To Opus Encode

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 53 public results since 11 September 2024 with the latest data as of 30 September 2024.

Below is an overview of the generalized performance for components where there is sufficient statistically significant data based upon user-uploaded results. It is important to keep in mind particularly in the Linux/open-source space there can be vastly different OS configurations, with this overview intended to offer just general guidance as to the performance expectations.
