Performance: Handbrake 2017, Cinebench

HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows. This software puts multithread CPUs to good use, and it allows to transcode videos using a different codec, like for instance h.264. For video transcoding – the more CPU cores, the better, as it’s a very processor-intensive task. In this test, we encoded a 4K source file to 1080p30 in the MKV container. This benchmark is really good for checking the performance of both the CPU and memory. In the graph below, you’ll find the average number of rendered frames per second. Of course, you want to achieve as much, as possible.

CINEBENCH is a test suite that verifies the computer's performance capabilities. CINEBENCH is based on MAXON's animation software, CINEMA 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. HyperThreading is much appreciated, so Intel processors are in favour. The test scene consists of approximately 2,000 objects containing more than 300,000 total polygons, and uses sharp and blurred reflections, area lights and shadows, procedural shaders, antialiasing, and much, more. The result is given in points (pts). The higher the number, the faster the processor.

CineBench R15 is mainly a CPU test. Memory frequency influence is negligible here.

Patriot Viper Steel RGB 3600 MHz (2x 16GB) review
Today, we are looking at Patriot Viper Steel RGB 3600 MHz CL20 (yes – 20!) memory in a 32 GB set consisting of two 16 GB modules. I can say that we’ve had our fair share of experience with Patriot RAM. We had an opportunity to test a similarly clocked kit (3600 MHz) from the Viper Steel series (so no RGB there), but the capacity was 2 x 32 GB back then, and the latencies were quite surprisingly better, at 18-22-22-42. Before that, we also reviewed one of the fastest 2 x 8 GB kits in the range, clocked at 4000 MHz with CL19 latency.

Patriot Viper Steel DDR4 3600 MHz (64GB) review
Today, we are looking at Patriot Viper Steel 3600 MHz CL18 memory in a 64 GB set consisting of two 32 GB modules. At the beginning of 2019, we had an opportunity to check a higher-clocked kit from that series (4000 MHz), but the capacity was 2 x 8 GB. Patriot’s Viper Steel Series is offered at speeds ranging from 3000 MHz up to 4400 MHz, with XMP 2.0 support.
