> x265 outperforms libvpx in most cases, but the performance gap narrows (or even reverses) at the higher resolutions.

So libvpx is sometimes better than x265 at resolutions > 1080p.

I read it as "at 1080p they become equal or libvpx is better"

Right, the question is which direction you are going when you hit 1080p. Are you going down from 4k? Or up from 720p.

In context, it's likely they mean "1080p [or higher]", but it's arguably ambiguous.

It sounds as though they tested at only 3 discrete resolutions (none of which were > 1080p, btw), so I think it's a strict equality.
