  The 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.

    Depending 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.

    are you saying gpu x264 encoding is reaching bitrate/quality ratio similar to cpu x264 soon ?
