Re: AVX2?
There are many other changes that will have bigger effect. Both in Handbrake and other libraries
You are essentially getting excited over marketing hype.
The x264 project is constantly adding new optimisations. You just dont hear about them because the tech news world doesnt normallymake a big deal about it. Its not something you really need to worry or care about.
Bare in mind also haswell is still a while away yet and anyone with access to it will be under nda.

Re: AVX2?
The x264 developers *have* tested and they usually say in their commit messages and/or newsletter how much each improvement gains. This time they were *very* thorough. http://www.scribd.com/doc/137419114/Int ... ns-in-x264
Re: AVX2?
X264 was bumped tonight so should be in tomorrows nightly.
Saying that, the current build already showed AVX2. Not sure if they didn't already have some level of optimization in there.
Either way, official numbers from x264 are 4~5% gain on AVX2 CPU's
