i9-9900K vs i9-10980XE White System Head to Head

x265 and H.265 Encoding

Video encoding uses more of the system as a whole and is one of those tasks which doesn’t take full advantage of all the Core i9-10980XE has to offer up, with the Core i9-9900K based system coming a lot close than its paper specification would lead you to assume. In fact in the 720P H.265 test the eight core CPU beats out its bigger brother. See, it’s not all about spec tables, it’s about real world results.
