CPU Benchmark Performance: Encoding and Compression

One of the interesting elements on modern processors is encoding performance. This covers two main areas: encryption/decryption for secure data transfer, and video transcoding from one video format to another.

In the encrypt/decrypt scenario, how data is transferred and by what mechanism is pertinent to on-the-fly encryption of sensitive data - a process by which more modern devices are leaning to for software security.

Video transcoding as a tool to adjust the quality, file size and resolution of a video file has boomed in recent years, such as providing the optimum video for devices before consumption, or for game streamers who are wanting to upload the output from their video camera in real-time. As we move into live 3D video, this task will only get more strenuous, and it turns out that the performance of certain algorithms is a function of the input/output of the content.

We are using DDR4 memory at the following settings:

  • DDR4-3200

    Guy is a troll ignore him.

    If you do not want to read them and try to even understand the issue at hand better stop at it, do not call everything that you do not understand as "Beta use at own risk" it's laughable how you dismiss the platform problems. clicked on top first link and called everything is beta..

    1.2.0.7 is currently a beta release rest of them are not and on top many already said 1.2.0.7 is better for platform stability over previous AGESA esp with TPM issues since Windows 11 dropped. Then again the 1.2.0.7 is bad for DRAM OC. You will dismiss the below link also.

    Makeveli is even bigger joker using slandering of all.

    1.2.0.7 is NOT beta. I only looked at Asus, but the 1.2.0.7 BIOSs (which I have had installed for at least a month) are not listed as beta. They may have been listed as such on the first few days of release.

    I've been using 1207 for about a month, and it's running without problems on my B450 Tomahawk; but I did notice that MSI seemingly removed this BIOS from the website, the current one reverting to 2020's AGESA 1006. A quick search online shows that some people have had issues with it.

    Nah it’s excellent for gaming, far better than the 5900X. The 5900X only makes sense for creators same as with the 5950X.

    I do not crave for that pathetic 1-2% I want a machine do everything from my 4K muxing to whatever I throw at it including a ton of MT workloads. The CPU is also locked I do not want that either. 5900X is a far better purchase.

    A PC is not just a damn "Gaming" only junk. It should be able to do everything. If I want just for gaming I would get any CPU and be done with it.

    Just because a product doesn't meet your needs doesn't make it junk.

    Most people don't even need 8 cores, much less 12-16.
  • Threska - Saturday, July 2, 2022 - link

    Those doing virtualization might, be it home or office.
  • nandnandnand - Saturday, July 2, 2022 - link

    And they will buy the product they need.

    1-2% lol go inform yourself a little better, this CPU is 15% ahead of Zen 3 in average.
