x265
Whilst certain tests, as we've seen so far, prefer cores to clock speed, others utilise all available performance to complete the task as quickly as possible. One such application is x265 video encoding, where the six cores of the i7-8700K handily best the 8 cores of the Ryzen 7 1800X, and also scale almost linearly with the performance we saw from the i7-7700K.

Nice review Tom, thanks!! I have some 3333MHz RAM incoming for an Apex or Hero board (very likely the former) and if I don't use XMP but just set it manually, as I like to do, won't that prevent the SA and VCC to auto rise?Quote
Should I be drinking a large cup of tea or is only Coffee permissible when watching the video?Quote
