Here is another result for you:

encoded 1497 frames in 809.97s (1.85 fps), 4036.54 kb/s, Avg QP:26.24

“Sandy Bridge” 2.7 GHz i7 2620M dual core (Mac Mini Mid 2011)
256K L2 per core, 4 MB shared L3
8 GB of 1333 MHz DDR3 (2 X 4GB), 750 GB sata mobile HD
macOS 10.12.2

update:

Edgemeal, thanks for changing the construction core PD CPUs to modules. There is an APU in there (rancher lee's A10-7850K) that should be changed from 4C/4T to 2M/4T.

@VirtualLarry , I wonder how much single channel is impacting your score, this benchmark does involve a lot of main memory transactions.

Not at all. Like nearly all video encoding it just wants to eat compute cycles. Newer cores with better IPC do better and clockspeed is king.

In fact I did a little number crunching. I did a calculation I'll call "cycles/fps." That is how many cycles it takes to produce 1fps encoding on this benchmark. I multiplied the number of cores of the CPU times the clockspeed and divided by the encoded fps result from Handbrake. Next I averaged the results of same cores.
Here's what I got:

Skylake - 2084 cycles to produce 1fps encoding speed
Broadwell - 2250 cycles to produce 1fps encoding speed (this is from my t450s laptop so I suspect a desktop system would do a bit better)
Haswell - 2274 cycles to produce 1fps encoding speed
Ivy Bridge - 2935 cycles to produce 1fps encoding speed
Lynnfield - 4318 cycles to produce 1fps encoding speed (result from an i5-750 so no HT on this one)

Can someone bench a 2600k?
Anyone have one of those rare as hens teeth 5775C Broadwell cores to test?

I just noticed the other OS X result (with the other Macbook Pro) disappeared, too.

looking at the results, i'm seeing both the 750 and the 4850hq in the list, which i haven't edited since last friday. so the results are there, i don't know why it's not showing up for you. cache?

updating list through this post.

i7 7700k at 5ghz DDR4-3000 Windows 10. It throttles down to 4.8 sometime. I guess it's the AVX code? Too many things are still set at auto. It did hit 88c so lowering the clock for AVX is a good thing.

I came back to see how my own results fit with the rank-ordering. I have a couple questions to pose.

First -- would the benchmark benefit more from processors sporting more cores (six, eight, twelve) as opposed to less (for instance -- four)?

Second -- would SLI or CF -- two or more -- be tie-breaker?
 
Holy kangaroo 1045T sucks at this. I expected to see somewhere along A10-7850K-ish number, but instead it turns out slower than Larry's Pentium G4600. And It is like below 20% speed of the dual Xeon E5-2670 setup. It was a dirty run done while I was reading emails but it took so long that I did not bother to do a clean run.

that's the lack of SSE 4.1 as mentioned earlier, a 3GHz Core 2 Quad (45nm) should be able to beat that result

regarding the results table, I see some people are declaring base clock when the CPU actually runs at boost clock, so it's kind of confusing.
