I fear a little research will tell you that only the "bleeding edge" cpus have a measurably better memory transfer bandwidth, motherboard should have no impact.

You won't get AVX512 for AMD. Carl Eugen _______________________________________________ Libav-user mailing list [email protected] http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/libav-user
