Hi everyone,
I've been looking at many threads & articles over the past two months in order to set up a powerful video encoding / editing workstation.
While I was mostly contemplating a Ryzen 9 or new Threadripper build, I eventually read that AMD lacked support for AVX-512 instructions, which are supported by the HEDT Intel CPU line up. These instructions have some action on floating points calculations, apparently.
My question is : seeing how benches show strong performances for AMD over Intel these days (price / perf), does it make sense to skip the % of encoding time improvements AVX-512 brings to the system, going AMD, or stick with Intel's computing capabilities. How impactful would these instructions be on actual render times, when comparing for example a Core X i7 9800X with a 3900X ?
If anyone has some experience in the video field, I'd be very glad to get more info on this. Thank you very much for your time!
