Chunkify published benchmarks comparing its video transcoding performance, cost, and quality against AWS Elemental MediaConvert for H.264, HEVC, and AV1 codecs across various resolutions. The results indicate Chunkify completed jobs 2.49x to 21.69x faster and with 8% to 76% lower costs, while maintaining comparable or higher VMAF quality scores.
Chunkify is making a direct performance-and-cost case for its transcoding stack against AWS MediaConvert, and the biggest deltas show up on AV1, where its 4K job finished 21.69x faster and 66% cheaper. The underlying setup matters: Chunkify’s 104-vCPU parallel configuration is contrasted with MediaConvert’s sequential processing, so the benchmark is as much about architecture as codec support. For streaming teams, the practical signal is whether Chunkify can sustain these gains on the same source assets and resolution mix under real workloads. The next number to watch is the spread on AV1 at 1920 × 858 and 3840 × 1714, where the gap was widest.
