I am putting together hardware to encode a large and ever growing catalog of video using ffmpeg/x264. Much of the source video is 1080p ProResHQ. Currently I have a box with a Haswell 4770k CPU which gets around 12-15 fps, I am of course looking to increase that as much as possible.
Trying to determine if getting the latest dual CPU Xeon (such as E5-2690 v3) setup is going to be worth the significant additional cost over the best Haswell-E (Core i7-5960X). I've read lots of articles/posts and it is not clear to me. I know worth is subjective but looking to know if there'll be significant increase in fps using 2 Xeons. I need to justify the $6-7k price tag. Any insight/experience would be appreciated. thanks Ryan _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user
