Video encoding
The cheapest Ryzen 7000 processor (7600X) is a class above Intel’s cheapest Core i5-class processor (12400). Ryzen dominates in virtually everything, and it does so at higher efficiency. Yes, it’s not the same price range, and the R5 7600X is ultimately “killed” by the high price (not just in terms of the CPU itself, but the entire platform), but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a great processor.
HandBrake
Test environment: For video conversion we’re using a 4K video LG Demo Snowboard with a 43,9 Mb/s bitrate. AVC (x264) and HEVC (x265) profiles are set for high quality and encoder profiles are “slow”. HandBrake version is 1.3.3 (2020061300).
x264 and x265 benchmarks
SVT-AV1
Test environment: We are encoding a short, publicly available sample park_joy_2160p50.y4m: uncompressed video 4096 × 2160 px, 8bit, 50 fps. Length is 500 frames with encoding quality set to 6 which makes the encoding still relatively slow. This test can make use of the AVX2 i AVX-512 instructions.

Thanks, very thorough as usual.
Could you do a comprehensive review on Ryzen 7000 Eco Modes? I like the idea of lowering both power consumption (and temps) and clocks. Not everyone needs 5 ghz and above. In fact I think most don’t.
“Eco mode” will be dealt with in the framework of the motherboard tests. We won’t include it in standard CPU tests, those are at the limit of the maximum time we can invest in them. Eco mode will be here, it just won’t be included in the CPU test methodology, but you will find it in the motherboard test methodology. Just as we now measure, with Intel chipsets, with power limits based on TDP in motherboard tests, we will also reserve space for measurements in Eco mode for the AMD platform.
Thanks for the reply.
