Dal forum del programma mi hanno scritto questo se ti può esserti d'aiuto per un consiglio su acquisti
Encoders inside are x264, x265, NVEnc, BDRebuilder controls these.
For processor/encoder comparisons you may want to look up cinebench etc.
What CPU/GPU you give to them follows your personal speed/price ratio.
More CPU or RAM ?...you need both. 16GB RAM should be ok.
Single core CPU: Are there any left in that range at all ?
6c12t would be a good starting point.
My results with Intel CPUs, all on notebooks (I had no AMD so far):
2004: T7600G (2c2t 2,33..3,16Ghz) x264 first steps ok, slow but pristine
2009: i7-940XM (4c8t 2,13GHz..3GHz) x264 working medium speed possible, x265 just for short tests
2014: i7-4960X (6c12t 1,2..3,7..4,1GHz) x264 with beautiful speed, x265 working medium speed well possible.
BTW, I do not suggest my personal approach to have all that squeezed into a notebook,
it will cost you a premium, and proper cooling asks for a thick desktop replacement.
All those CPUs are obsolete now, almost any recent CPU is faster (Ultra-low-Power CPUs excluded)
Multicore/ highclock CPUs are welcome, but I wouldn't suggest spending top money for THE top clock,
one below is still sufficient. Expect Clock to be throttled down with many full-load threads, TDP demands it.
Expect to give the best cooling system and the best PSU.
You need a CPU with AVX, better AVX2.
AVX512 would be H.265-valuable, but often outside of a private budget (Server CPUs).
Expect thermal throttling to be kicking in on AVX512 load with early generation AVX512 CPUs,
so no real gain to spend on that feature.
GPUs (1060 upwards with B-frames):
quality seems to lack a bit behind CPU, but are reported to be blazingly fast.
All these factors come with new chipsets and motherboards, so after all
encoding speeds are rarely improved by upgrade of an existing system,
but by purchase of a new system
