CPU Benchmark¶
Updated whenever I can.
Note: HandBrake don't scale well with more than 32 threads. As a result, this benchmark does not measure the true performance of servers having 32+ cores.
Encoding a 2h video (live concert from Japanese TV, MPEG-2, dark scene with grain) at 1280x720 resolution.
