Video Encoding
One only needs to glance at the amount of content available on the internet from simple cat videos through to incredibly complicated films and gaming footage to realise how important fast video encoding is and the x.265 benchmark does a good job of testing that. If you prefer your encoder to be of the H variety then the HEVC benchmark does a similar thing to the x.265 benchmark but instead of running with the x265 encoder it utilises the popular H.265 format which is rapidly becoming the standard for video encoding.

Another motherboard release with eye watering prices. B550 is meant to be the knock down cheaper alternative, but they're still pushing out £300 boards!? Mental. B550 lowers the scale of pricing from x570 sure, but am I the only one who thinks we're getting screwed by motherboard manufacturers?

Don't forget that a part of that price is the chipset price also. Like, from AMD. IDK if they charge a license fee like Intel...
Sadly this will just continue, until Intel give them a reason to have to drop.

If you use 2 GPUs for rendering well then go for another board, but for most people, this is a much better distribution of lanes.Quote
