The Fight for Patent-Unencumbered Media Codecs Is Nearly Won

I jumped from your chip to a 6 core Broadwell-E and it seems to give me about 15% more performance out of x264 encoding and 5% from x265.

I see the same jump from C4 to C5 Amazon machines. I'd love to chat about encoding with you at some point.

Yikes! Is that 5-15% normalized to per-core performance, or does it really get almost 0 benefit from having 50% more cores?

That difference from C4 to C5 makes more sense given that they each have the same number of cores available and it was a smaller generational gap.
