AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X / 3960X Linux Benchmarks
The Threadripper 3960X and Threadripper 3970X are extremely great performers in the video encoding benchmarks from rav1e and dav1d through Intel's own Scalable Video Technology (SVT) encoders.
For single-threaded audio encode performance, the Zen 2 Threadripper processors easily outperformed the Cascade Lake Core i9.
