Handbrake H264

Handbrake H265

The reasonably lengthy runtimes of our Handbrake H264 and H265 tests see AMD’s Ryzen 9 5980HS deliver another crushing victory versus its primary competitors. Prosumers needing video conversion power for on-the-go usage will be far better served by the eight Zen 3 mobile cores rather than the Tiger Lake quad-core i7-1165G7, accelerated performance notwithstanding.

7-Zip

As we are used to at this point, AMD’s Zen-based architecture is evidently quick when it comes to 7-Zip decompression workloads. That’s ideal for anybody dealing with big zipped files on their laptop. The performance lead versus Intel’s Core i9-10980HK is trimmed heavily when looking at compression, but AMD’s eight-core chip partnered with fast LPDDR4X memory does stay out in front.
