Great post. I can tell you my benchmarks using GPUs and various platforms didn't favor x264 encoding, as you also noted. >x265 (H.265/HEVC encoding) Not something our services can reasonably support or use currently, so even if true, Ryzen/Threadripper is still probably not something we can go with. I look forward to switching in 2-3 years when we re-visit this conversation, or adopting it for other services soon. I'm very excited for AMD's competition and fully willing to switch; I just haven't seen the evidence that supports that it would be a good idea for our particular use case.
