I would be extremely interested to know how disabling hyperthreading to present only 18 physical cores to handbrake affects your score. Any chance of a non-HT run?

Also, got a replacement 5960x. 4.7 core, 4.6 cache. DDR4 3200 14-15-15-30 1T

encoded 1497 frames in 93.77s (15.97 fps), 4035.92 kb/s, Avg QP:26.24

I had to run 1.07 because 1.01 crashes every time I try to use it on 1709, even after a reinstall.

I Will try to do a non HT run this week..

I did a run on my old core i7 860@4Ghz out of curiosity.

encoded 1497 frames in 336.25s (4.45 fps), 4036.02 kb/s, Avg QP:26.24

The 8600k@5Ghz is 2.78 times faster. 2.78 X i7 860 that is, because I had a big argument in another forum if one times faster is actually a correct expression and what it really means.

The silly thing actually hit 99C. wtf? I have never seen the 860 getting so hot. Ok I will dismantle it next week anyway, but still.

I had a feeling 18 cores was around the point that the failure to scale to higher thread counts would have HT potentially end up breaking even or possibly resulting in a performance loss. Great results and very informative.

you guys want to run 2 instances and average them?


edit: should probably just try 4k recoding. new tab on the spreadsheet time!

It seems your cpu is throttling or something is wrong. Its only ~9% faster than Crono's 8700 at 4.3

EDIT: ummm or is it AVX offset? about -300 or so?

Sorry I missed this. The answer is yes it has an offset of exactly 300 actually.

Nice. Would you consider running the cinebench 11.5 challenge? Would be nice to see how it compares to threadripper there as well. You have a monster on your hands.

How much Vcore did you need to get 4.6?

Stumbled across this thread trying to find any info on encoding times for h265 since I'm planning on doing a decent amount of it in the future So since I found this thread somewhat useful I figured I'd throw a few test out for you guys and anyone else who many stumble across this thread in the future.

I didn't think to grab screenshots or anything for these until I got a couple tests in but I can assure you I'm not making any of these numbers up and all of them are 100% legit. Also I'm willing to give any more info anyone wants upon request.

I'll start with the quad cores and move on from here.

Cpu I5-2500k @ 4.0GHz ddr3-1600 Windows 10 pro
encoded 1497 frames in 362.82s (4.13 fps), 4036.02 kb/s, Avg QP:26.24

Cpu AMD Phenom II X4 940 @ 3.0GHz ddr2-800 Windows 10 pro
encoded 1497 frames in 1409.23s (1.06 fps), 4036.02 kb/s, Avg QP:26.24

These are dual core cpus though the i3 does have hyper-threading so make of it what you will.

Cpu i3-7100U CPU @ 2.40GHz ddr4-2133 Windows 10 home
encoded 1497 frames in 621.16s (2.41 fps), 4036.02 kb/s, Avg QP:26.24

Cpu AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ @ 2.3GHz ddr2-800 Windows 10 pro
encoded 1497 frames in 5151.28s (0.29 fps), 3978.84 kb/s, Avg QP:26.14

Decided this was too slow so I overclocked this chip till it started failing in prime95.

Cpu AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ @ 3.1GHz ddr2-800 Windows 10 pro
encoded 1497 frames in 3714.00s (0.40 fps), 3978.81 kb/s, Avg QP:26.14

The rest of these are all socket 1366 Xeons, I tested all of these in both single and dual socket configurations when possible just to be thorough.

Cpu single X5687 @ 3.60GHz ddr3-1066 Windows 10 pro
encoded 1497 frames in 360.45s (4.15 fps), 4036.02 kb/s, Avg QP:26.24

Cpu single L5640 @ 2.27GHz ddr3-1066 Windows 10 pro
encoded 1497 frames in 401.25s (3.73 fps), 4036.02 kb/s, Avg QP:26.24

Cpu dual L5640 @ 2.27GHz ddr3-1066 Windows 10 pro
encoded 1497 frames in 232.62s (6.44 fps), 4036.02 kb/s, Avg QP:26.24

Cpu Single X5670 @ 2.93GHz ddr3-1066 Windows 10 pro
encoded 1497 frames in 309.44s (4.84 fps), 4036.02 kb/s, Avg QP:26.24

Cpu dual X5670 @ 2.93GHz ddr3-1066 Windows 10 pro
encoded 1497 frames in 182.66s (8.20 fps), 4036.02 kb/s, Avg QP:26.24

I actually have a couple more CPUs I wanted to test but handbrake doesn't seem to want to run on the AMD K6-3 I have and I unfortunately don't have a working motherboard or ram for the socket 939 CPUs I have lying around.

I did it again to check for a Meltdown Patch impact, and it was faster this time. Though I think I might have ran it on HDD last time, SSD this time:

Not apples to apples, but thanks for posting anyway. I hope more people do this comparison so I can get a better idea if I'm being impacted (haven't had time to do the test myself)

On Handbrake 1.1
CPU 1900X stock ~3.9G
MOBO MSI X399 Gamming Pro Carbon
RAM 3200 14-14-14

encoded 1497 frames in 126.44s (11.84 fps), 4626.29 kb/s, Avg QP:26.00

So 3X faster than my OC’d i7920

1.1 came out, was waiting for it. seems like it may be time to end this thread and start a new one with 1.1 and 4k transcoding since new CPUs loaf at this 4k to 1080p stuff.
