I have an Intel Core i5. Feeling a lot of processor envy. Wondering if I swap it out for a Core i7, would hyper-threading cut the encode time in half?
Typical encodes use AVC x.264 / HEVC x.265 and libav AAC / FDK-AAC. I sometimes use decomb, denoise, deblock, too. Encodes on the Core i5 load all 4 cores to 99%. So faster encode times come down to faster clock speeds or more cores (real or fake, I mean, virtual).
This pointer to anandtech seems to suggest hyperthreading gain is only 30% faster, not 2x faster viewtopic.php?f=6&t=26788&p=123076&hili ... ng#p123076
I was wondering if that is still accurate with the HB 1.0.7 builds or if anyone has different experience.
