      You’re correct. I guess they’re comparing against compressed pngs. Judging from the image at least.

      But still, I think they’re cherry picking one of the worst formats to make the comparison look good.

      Not to say that means this is bad. Just the cost/benefit is not nearly as good as it appears. We need comparisons against ETC or DXT.
