Handbrake H264

Handbrake H264 sees the stock Ryzen 9 7900X sitting just between the high-power and more sensibly-powered Core i7-13700K configurations. Once again, this isn’t a great result for AMD as the Intel chip is £90 cheaper.

Handbrake H265

H265 performance is an area where AMD dominates, though. This time, we see the 24-thread Ryzen 9 matching performance from Intel’s hefty Core i9-13900K in a high-power form.

7-Zip Compression and Decompression

7-Zip does very well on AMD’s Zen 4 architecture, too. We see the Ryzen 9 7900X once again opening up a performance lead over the Intel Core i7-13700K.
