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 DDR5 memory at the following settings:

  • DDR5-4800(B) CL40

Encoding

(5-1a) Handbrake 1.3.2, 1080p30 H264 to 480p Discord

(5-1b) Handbrake 1.3.2, 1080p30 H264 to 720p YouTube

(5-1c) Handbrake 1.3.2, 1080p30 H264 to 4K60 HEVC

(5-2a) 7-Zip 1900 Compression

(5-2b) 7-Zip 1900 Decompression

(5-2c) 7-Zip 1900 Combined Score

(5-3) AES Encoding

(5-4) WinRAR 5.90 Test, 3477 files, 1.96 GB

In terms of encoding and compression, Intel's 12th Gen Core gains some wins, but AMD's Ryzen 5000 also wins. It's a very competitive segment, but in the case of the Core i7-12700K and Core i5-12600K, both remain competitive against the competition.

    > Did I talk to you? No.

    You must have this confused with private messages. This is an open discussion where anyone can read and reply to anything posted. If that's not what you want, go somewhere else.

    > has to comment on everything here.

    This is one of the sites I tend to check on a daily basis. As there's not much new content published recently, most of the discussion seems to happen in the latest article.

    That you feel the need to psycho-analyze me really says more about you than me.

    > not a good showing for this site.

    Since when do you care about this site? It's been going for 25 years, yet you seem to have no clue what it's really about. Worse, I don't think you care. Your agenda seems quite obvious, by this point.

    > That said, I’m not gonna waste my time with you again.

    Somehow, I doubt it.

    > Didn’t read your comment either.

    Your loss.

    Also, I doubt it. Unless the post is overlong, this is typically just an excuse used by those who cannot reply on merit.

    Not a need to psychoanalyse you but it’s very obvious, your comments are literally everywhere here. You’re worse than me in my worst times - again not a insult, but you should look into it. It stems from insecurity issues.

    > It stems from insecurity issues.

    Nope. I've been a tech-head for most of my life. I love this stuff. These are my people and I enjoy learning and sharing what I've learned. That's why I read & post here.

    There are people who post here that I respect & learn from. Not as much as when the site had more content, but still some. And I do what I can to pay it forward. If you're paying attention, you'll see that I try to fill in details, present counterpoints, and support my claims with links where I can.

    I think it's funny that you can presume to know me, after just a few comment threads.

    No problem disregard what I said then.

    I wanna add: I don’t have a agenda, don’t misuse big words that are unsuitable for small things. I’m sorry this site is nearly dead, I would’ve loved it to be different.

    > I don’t have a agenda

    I don't even care if you do, as long as you play fair. We don't need insults or name-calling. State your best case and back it up with references (when possible). The better you can support your argument, the more chance there is that at least someone will learn something.

    Plenty of people have biases, on here. That's just a reality. All you can do is present your side or get them to clarify and support their position. You never win by attacking people. It shuts down any chance they'll listen and turns off anyone else who might be following.

    Try to wisen up yourself before lecturing others on what to do. :) I don’t asked for advice and I don’t need it, never really did, coming to think of it, not even 23 years ago in the first tech forums I visited.

    "Will there be a review of the Mac studio with M1 Ultra? If not, I’ll stop checking the site."
    Yes, hopefully next week. Things have been a little busy in the GPU space in the last month, to say the least.

    Sweet! Thanks!
