No, it doesn't. Their hyperthreading model is clearly not as good as Intel's. Take a look at the Handbrake tests, which take full advantage of hyperthreading. The 7700K, with half the cores, is only a few frames/sec. behind.
If I was after encoding performance, I wouldn't buy a Ryzen. If I was after rendering performance, I wouldn't buy a Ryzen. Throw an mid-range nVidia on there for OpenCL, and the only CPU that makes sense for that price range is the 7700K.
- slantyyz 10y agoFrom everything I've seen, the Ryzen's main appeal is bang for the buck. If you're after pure performance, then you simply go with the best for your use case, whether it is Ryzen or not. If you're on a tight budget, however, things get interesting.

- Geee 10y agoIt's not so clear, because 7700K offers more bang for the buck in single-threading cases, which is more important in typical computer use.

- cynic_ 10y agoLooking at most benchmarks hyperthreading model is equal or better on Ryzen. Ryzen 1800x and 6900k have almost the exact single threaded score on Cinebench. But 1800x beats 6900k on Cinebench and Handbrake
- DannyBee 10y agoIt's funny that the article mentions that Intel went through a number of these projects and optimized them, just so they could try to say that :) I expect if AMD went back through again, they could improve them even more. (In the handbrake case, most likely it's half-speed AVX2 that is hurting them)

The benchmarks show Ryzen being the obvious choice other than cinebench single threaded.
- carspically 10y agoThe reason he said that is because it makes infinitely more sense to use a renderer that does it's work on the GPU with CUDA or OpenCL. Only if you are using a shitty software renderer or are completely stupid would you do rendering on the CPU. The Ryzen performs nicely on the encoding tests, though that will be performed by the GPU soon. It already can be (NVENC and AMD VCE), but the quality isn't quite as good as everyone's favorite h.264 encoder, x264.
- skykooler 10y agoDepending on rendering task, GPU rendering isn't always feasible. In particular, for very large scenes consuming a large amount of RAM, it is difficult to find graphics cards with over 8 GB of VRAM, while 32gb or 64gb of desktop RAM are easily accessible.
- untoreh 10y agoare you saying gpu x264 encoding is reaching bitrate/quality ratio similar to cpu x264 soon ?
