2 cores and 4 more threads, right?

well seen.
I did not see
I just found this one, slightly more expensive
E5-2660V3 -> 10 cores 20 threads 2.6ghz 3.30 turbo

should the number of cores be preferred over the frequency?

all around 50 €

1920x1080

only one encoding at a time.
For the most part, I use x265

Good evening I'm making a machine specially for dual-processor encoding. What should I focus on in terms of CPUs, frequency or number of cores I saw three different CPUs: E5-4627V3 -> 10 cores, 2.6ghz, 3.2 turbo E5-2640V3 -> 8 cores, 2.6ghz, 3.4 turbo E5-2637V3 -> 4 cores, 3.5ghz, 3.7 turbo for you ...
