If no one has explained to you why GPU accelerated video encoding is amazing. Transcoding a video at 1080p with just the normal old processor instructions can take upwards of 3 hours depending on the speed and power you’re willing to throw at it. Turning on the NVidia instructions takes that same job and reduces it to around 20mins on the same system at a fraction of the power consumption.
In real world time, this means I can now go from digitizing one or two movies a day while working to easily digitizing six or seven.

ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 Review: Green With Envy
The ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 is a powerful business prosumer laptop that, for about $2,100, also gives you 4K and the legendary ThinkPad keyboard. But what initially looks like a low markup on this computer starts to become a bit steeper when stacked up against other 10th Gen Intel-based competition, especially the HP Envy 15.
This ThinkPad’s still cheaper than certain other premium contenders like the Surface Book 3, but does it have similarly unique features to justify that price?
Design of the ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3
The ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 maintains the ThinkPad style with an all-business look that nonetheless is thin and sleek enough to be appropriate for the home or on the go. A carbon fiber weave pattern (optional on 4K models) adorns the lid, while one of the corners plays home to an oversized glossy black and red ThinkPad X1 logo. In a nice touch, the red dot on the ThinkPad logo’s “i” also fades in and out when the laptop is in sleep mode.
The inside of the laptop keeps the same general motif, with a ThinkPad logo in the bottom-right corner and an otherwise no-nonsense look. The red TrackPoint that the brand associates itself with is of course at the keyboard’s center, but otherwise the most distinguishing design feature here is the hinge, which can bend far enough so that the screen is parallel to the keyboard.
The port selection here is also generous, keeping in line with the laptop’s utility-forward aesthetic. The left side is where you’ll find the charging port, as well as two Thunderbolt 3 ports, an HDMI 2.0 connection and a 3.5 mm combination headphone/microphone jack. The right side is where you’ll want to put your older accessories since it has the laptop’s 2 USB Type-A 3.2 Gen 1 connections. It also has a full-size SD card reader and a Kensington lock slot.
The ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 is able to accommodate so many ports, partially because of its size. At 14.3 x 9.6 x 0.7 inches, it’s wider than most similarly sized laptops and not exactly thin. It does keep pace with other business prosumer laptops like the HP Envy 15, which is 14.1 x 9.3 x 0.7 inches large, but still finds itself beat by entries like the 13.6 x 9.1 x 0.7 inch Dell XPS 15 9500. Still, there are thicker laptops that have hit this category recently, like the 13.5 x 9.9 x 0.9 inch Microsoft Surface Book 3, though that does detach into a separate tablet.
Where this iteration of the ThinkPad X1 does excel is weight. At 4 pounds, it’s easily lighter than the 4.2-pound Surface Book 3, the 4.5-pound XPS 15 and the 4.7-pound Envy 15.
Productivity Performance on the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3
The ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 has a Core i7-10850H Comet Lake processor as opposed to a more recent (and mobile-focused) Tiger Lake CPU. That’s understandable, since Tiger Lake doesn’t have an H series processor yet. But Comet Lake has been out long enough that competitors have had plenty of time to put out similarly powerful machines, so this ThinkPad is entering into a busy space.
Take the XPS 15 9500, which had an Intel Core i7-10750H when we reviewed it and options up to an i7-10875H. This laptop came out back in May, but is still plenty relevant. That’s also the case for the Microsoft Surface Book 3, which has plenty of convertibility options and uses an Intel Core i7-1065G7. The HP Envy 15, meanwhile, came out in August and has an Intel Core i7-10750H, but is much less expensive than the ThinkPad.
So how does the ThinkPad fit into the already well-developed 10th gen space? In our Geekbench benchmark, which tests general laptop performance, it scored 6,116 points, which is much higher than the Surface Book 3’s 3,831 points and just below the XPS 15 9500’s 6,174 points. It’s also still within spitting distance of the winner for this test; the Envy 15 scored 6,421 points.
The ThinkPad’s true performance starts to shine when you look at its file transfer and video editing speeds. The ThinkPad transferred 4.97 GB of files at a rate 1,615.7 MBps during our testing, which was almost double the speed of its nearest competitor. The closest is the Surface Book 3, which hit transfer speeds of 848.2 MBps, while the XPS 15 was stuck with a rate of 727 MBps and the Envy 15 with a rate of 650.6 MBps.
In video transcoding, the ThinkPad was also the fastest. It took 9:19 to transcode a 4K video to FHD using Handbrake, while the XPS 15 took 10:06 and the Envy 15 took 13:35. The Surface Book 3 lagged well behind, with a speed of 21:31.
We also put the ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 through our typical Cinebench R20 stress test, which involves running the program on a loop 20 times. Here, the testing started out promising with an initial score of 1,630.5 before falling into more reasonable scores that were around the low 1,500s for the rest of the runs. This isn’t unusual, and the testing ended with an average score of 1,521.8. During these tests, the average CPU clock speed was 2.2 Ghz and the average CPU temperature was 62.3 degrees Celsius (144.1 degrees Fahrenheit).
Graphics Performance on the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3
The ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 also packs an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q, which is enough power to let it moonlight in gaming if not dedicate itself to play. It’s also about on par with what we see from most of its competitors, with the XPS 15 sharing its GPU and the Surface Book 3 making a slight upgrade to a 1660 Ti Max-Q. The Envy 15’s RTX 2060 Max-Q does give it a slight edge, however.
At 1920 x 1080 on high settings, the ThinkPad outperformed all competitors in the Civilization VI benchmark with a score of 82 fps. The closest rival was the Envy 15 with 70 fps, followed by the Surface Book 3 with 63 fps and the XPS 15 with 48 fps. This might be due to the ThinkPad’s slightly more powerful CPU compared to its competitors.
The more graphically intensive Shadow of the Tomb Raider showed closer results in its benchmark at 1920 x 1080 and high settings, with the Envy 15 and Surface Book 3 still taking top scores but with a narrower margin. These laptops hit 49 fps and 42 fps respectively, while the ThinkPad came behind with 32 fps and the XPS 15 was once again arguably unplayable thanks to its 29 fps score.
I also personally played Overwatch on the ThinkPad for about a half-hour. Even on 4K and with the game’s highest “Epic” settings, my framerate maintained a solid 75 - 80 fps. The keyboard did become warm about halfway into the session, but not uncomfortably so.
Display on the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3
The ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 has a 15.6 inch 4K multi-touch IPS display that’s plenty colorful but can run dimmer than competitors and can also suffer from poor viewing angles due to how glossy it is.
I tested the screen by watching the open source 4K film Tears of Steel on it, where I found that the image tended to become hard to follow at viewing angles beyond about 75 degrees. This was less because of the screen washing out and more due to the display’s reflective surface distracting me from the action. When viewing the picture straight-on, colors were vivid but blacks lacked depth, maybe because the screen didn’t become bright enough to help make the picture pop.
Our testing showed that the ThinkPad does indeed have a slightly darker screen than competitors, coming in with an average brightness of 338 nits. That’s plenty bright for most users, but falls short compared to other 4K prosumer laptops like the XPS 15 9500 (434 nits) and the Surface Book 3 (402 nits). Instead, it’s closer to the HP Envy 15 (329 nits).
As for color testing, the ThinkPad was in the middle of the pack, covering 96.1% of the DCI-P3 spectrum. That puts it about on par with the XPS (93.7%) and above the Surface Book 3 (71.2%), but below the Envy 15 (142%), which we tested with an OLED screen.
Keyboard and Touchpad on the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3
Keyboards tend to be a big draw for the ThinkPad brand, thanks to what usually feels like plenty of travel distance and comfortable concave keycaps that make typing easy on the fingers, and the ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 is no exception here. On the 10fastfingers.com typing test, I tended to fall between 76 - 81 words per minute, which is on par with what I tend to earn on mechanical keyboards, and I barely made any typos as well. Keypresses felt distinct yet cushiony during my tests, and touch typing was easy as the distinct shape of the keycaps helped me keep track of my hand placement without having to look at the keyboard.
The precision trackpad had a little too much friction for my personal taste, but this tended to affect my comfort more than my input. Multi-touch gestures registered well, as did precise cursor movement. Friction became more of an issue with the touchscreen, where my fingers tended to stick to the surface rather than glide across it. Still, multi-touch worked without problems here as well.
As is standard for ThinkPads, the X1 Extreme Gen 3 also has the typical TrackPoint nub in the center of the keyboard. I tend to avoid this feature, as I didn’t grow up with the input method, but it responds to pressure well and can be used to make both precise mouse adjustments and sweeping mouse movements without needing to take your fingers off the keyboard.
Audio on the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3
The ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 has bottom-firing speakers on either side that, in my testing, seemed to prioritize volume and treble over bass quality. I used the speakers to listen to Blackpink’s Lovesick Girls, which easily filled my whole 2-bedroom apartment when I put the speakers to max and even when I closed doors. Even at this high volume, the vocals never became tinny, nor did the song’s high notes.
That said, the song usually has a prevalent bass track that’s meant to mimic a heartbeat that was almost completely omitted by the ThinkPad’s speakers. It also has a few small drum sections that do sound tinny over the ThinkPad’s speakers, showing that the laptop’s ability with high notes doesn’t necessarily carry over to lower frequencies.
Upgradeability on the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3
The ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 is about as friendly as a laptop can get when it comes to upgradeability. Simply loosen the 7 Phillips head screws on the bottom and then pry open the case with a tool like a spudger. Once inside, you’ll have access to the SSD and, since the RAM isn’t soldered in, you’ll also be able to access that. Plus, there’s a second SSD slot if you want to add in additional storage.
Battery Life on the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3
The ThinkPad x1 Extreme Gen 3’s battery is poor even for a system with discrete graphics and a 4K display, so you’ll probably want to leave it plugged in when you’re doing anything that isn’t moving it from place to place. In our battery benchmark, which consistently browses the web, streams video and runs OpenGL tests at 150 nits of brightness, the ThinkPad only ran for 2 hours and 19 minutes.
That’s well below the 5:30 battery life for the Envy 15, which is another computer we said “you’ll want to keep near a charger.” Meanwhile, the 8:01 battery life of the XPS 15 9500 and the 11:10 battery life of the Microsoft Surface Book 3 make the ThinkPad’s numbers look pretty sad.
Heat on the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3
The ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 isn’t an ice-cold machine, but its temperature under strain is within expectations. We measured heat for the ThinkPad after 15 minutes of streaming video on YouTube, and found that its coolest point was the touchpad, with a more than comfortable 81.5 degrees Fahrenheit (27.5 degrees Celsius). The keyboard was much toastier at 97 degrees Fahrenheit (36.1 degrees Celsius), while most of the underside not far behind at 96.5 degrees (35.8 degrees Celsius).
The hottest point on the laptop was 103 degrees Fahrenheit (39.4 degrees Celsius) and was located on the underside, just above the laptop’s vents.
Webcam on the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3
ThinkPads are business notebooks, so you need a decent camera for the many video calls we're making these days. While the webcam is 720p, its color accuracy is true-to-life and there’s very little grain. The camera performs well in both normal and low light conditions. It’s not going to outpace your iPhone, but you won’t have to worry about looking washed out when video chatting with your coworkers.
It includes a physical webcam cover for those who are privacy-conscious. The ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 webcam also comes equipped with an IR sensor for use with Windows Hello.
Software and Warranty on the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3
One of the key strengths to Lenovo’s computers is that they tend not to pack bloat, and while they do come with utility programs, most of them end up consolidated into one app. That’s the case with the ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3, which doesn’t feature any marketing material or niche pack-ins aside from Windows' usual offenders. It does, however, have a small but not overwhelming number of genuinely helpful programs.
You can find most of the ThinkPad’s utilities in the Lenovo Vantage program, which has features for running diagnostics, checking Wi-Fi network security, disabling the microphone and webcam, identifying serial numbers and more. Lenovo Pen Settings is where you’ll end up configuring any Lenovo pens you might buy - the laptop doesn’t come with one - while Lenovo Display Optimizer lets you change between picture modes optimized for movies, photos and mitigating blue light to help you sleep. The most egregious program here is probably “Glance by MiraMetrix,” which uses eye tracking to move the mouse cursor and even windows progRAMS.
The ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 also has a one-year limited warranty.
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 Configurations
Our ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 review unit came with an Intel Core i7-10850H processor, a GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q, 32GB of DDR4 memory and a 1TB SSD all for $2,129.
If you want to add on just a touch more performance, you can also swap to an i9-10885H processor for what is currently $303 more after applying a sales discount. Other options include the ability to upgrade to 64GB of RAM for a post-discount price of $262, as well as add a second SSD or swap the display to OLED. The former will currently cost you up to $680 while the latter will currently add $107 to your price tag.
Alternately, if you want to save money, you can also swap the screen for an FHD display, lower your included RAM down to 8GB, drop your storage down to 256GB, and swap out the i7 CPU for an i5-10400H vPro processor. Making all these sacrifices will bring your costs down to $1,498.75 after the current sale discount, though at that point, you might as well go for Lenovo’s almost identical uncustomizable model that costs $1,405 and has an i7-10750H processor.
Bottom Line on the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3
The ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 performs well when compared to its competition, but falls prey to a premium markup when you look at its features. It keeps up with computers like the XPS 15 and the Envy 15 on Geekbench, exceeds them on file transfer speeds and video editing and, depending on the program, can even beat the Envy 15 in some graphical performance tests despite having a weaker card. But the audio is OK at best, and the display isn't as impressive as the competition, which leaves using it feeling like a standard experience that you end up paying more for.
The XPS 15 9500, by comparison, is now selling for $2,508 if you choose similar specs to the ThinkPad configuration we reviewed. That’s a touch more expensive, but it will also upgrade you to the slightly more powerful i7-10875H processor. The Microsoft Surface Book 3, meanwhile, is $2,999 when decked out with similar specs to the ThinkPad config we reviewed. Both of these are more expensive than the ThinkPad, especially the Surface Book, but also have their own unique benefits. In the former’s case, we get a slightly more powerful CPU, while the latter comes with multiple levels of convertibility.
Which brings us to the HP Envy 15. The XPS and Surface Book aren’t clear winners over the ThinkPad, but the Envy 15 has an almost identical and sometimes stronger average use case experience for much less. This i7-10750H and RTX 2060 Max-Q equipped laptop does have 16GB less RAM and 512GB less storage than the ThinkPad, but it slightly beat the ThinkPad in all of our performance tests except file transfer speed, video transcoding and the FHD Civilization VI benchmark. Its AMOLED screen is also about as bright as the ThinkPad’s while being more colorful, and at just $1,499, it’s got a pretty hefty discount over the ThinkPad despite offering a similar and sometimes better experience.
This leaves the ThinkPad in a bizarre space where it at once feels premium but sometimes loses to supposedly lesser machines. And that's completely ignoring the ThinkPad's downright poor battery life. At first, laptops like the XPS 15 and Surface Book 3 leave it seeming like a good deal, but then contenders like the HP Envy 15 show that you can get a similar experience for much less.
And while the Surface Book 3 and arguably the XPS have unique factors justifying their premium price tags, the ThinkPad’s user experience is far more basic. It’s a good choice if you’re a ThinkPad fan, but if you’re OK trading in some memory and storage space for a better GPU and a far lower price, the HP Envy 15 is a more appealing buy.

The Intel i5 CPU is considered Intel’s mainstream processor and alongside the rest of the 10th generation CPUs, Intel is launching the Core i5-10600k. The i5-10600k CPU is set to replace the 9th generation i5-9600k CPU. The i5-10600k gets a bump in the base clock as compared to the i5-9600k up from 3.7 GHz on the 9600k to 4.1 GHz on the i5-10600k. The turbo boost clock gets a frequency increase as well up from 4.6 GHz to 4.8 GHz on a single core and 4.5 GHz as an all-core boost. Unlike the i9 7 i7 counterparts, official non-XMP memory support stays at DDR4-2666. The i5 also misses out on Intel’s new Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB)that allows the CPU to boost above specified frequency if the conditions are just right. TVB is only available on the new 10th gen i9 CPUs. A new socket is needed for the 10th gen CPUs and Intel is also launching their Z490 chipset along with motherboard manufacturers launching a ton of new motherboards. However, there are some differences under the hood that should enable the i5-10600k to stretch its legs a bit and maintain good performance at a reasonable price level.
[sc name=”sponsor” sponsor=”Intel” product_link=”https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/processors/core/i5-processors/i5-10600k.html” product_name=”Intel Core i5-10600k” ]
One of the biggest additions to the i5 line up is the addition of HyperThreading. Now all Intel CPUs use Hyperthreading except for the Celeron processors. This means the i9 series is 10 cores/20 threads, the i7 series is 8 cores/16 threads, the i5 series is 6 cores/12 threads, and the i3 series is 4 cores/8 threads. The Pentium CPUs are 2 cores/4 threads.

The new 10th Gen CPUs have a thinner die and a thicker IHS. This should facilitate better heat transfer between the CPU and the cooler.
While not a brand new architecture, the 10th gen Intel CPUs, at least on paper, should bring more performance to the table. Keep in mind, that Intel is still using a Skylake derived architecture. There’s nothing wrong with that as long as they can continue to increase performance and keep moving the ball forward.
[section_title title=The Intel Core i5-10600k CPU]
The Intel Core i5-10600k CPU
Intel sent us the new 10th Gen Core CPUs in a special media kit. The retail packaging will look very different.
The box opens up revealing a translucent blue plastic sheet with Intel’s logo right in the center. Under the blue plastic insert is the CPUs in this case, we were sent the i9-10900k and the i5-10600k CPUs. This review will focus on the i5-10600k CPU.
#gallery-0-36 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-36 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-0-36 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-36 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
The 10th gen i5 is contained inside a small box. Inside, the CPU is encased in a standard CPU blister pack.
#gallery-0-37 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-37 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-0-37 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-37 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
Physically, there’s virtually no difference in the IHS between the 10th gen and older gen CPUs. However, a new socket is needed for the 10th gen CPUs which means you’ll also need a new motherboard. Along with the new CPU launches, Intel is launching the Z490 chipset, and motherboard manufactures have a slew of motherboards across almost all price ranges.

System settings –
Windows was set to High Performance in the power management settings in Windows.
Motherboard settings for the non-overclocked tests were reset to factory defaults and only the XMP for the G.Skill RAM was enabled. Everything else in the BIOS was left at the factory defaults for the stock tests.
Cooling
All my test benches are fitted with a custom loop featuring an EKWB Coolstream PE 360 mm radiator, EKWB Vardar fans x3, EKWB Velocity waterblock for both Intel and AMD, as well as an EKWB XRES 140 REVO D5 filled with distilled water. The motherboard settings were left to their stock configurations.
Let the battle of the 6-core CPUs begin!
Testing and Performance
AIDA64 ENGINEER
AIDA64 has a set of several 64-bit benchmarks to measure how fast the computer performs various data processing tasks and mathematical calculations. Multi-threaded memory and cache benchmarks are available to analyze system RAM bandwidth and latency. Benchmark pages of AIDA64 Extreme provide several methods to measure system performance. These benchmarks are synthetic, so their results show only the theoretical maximum performance of the system. The AIDA64 suite has various benchmarks for CPU, FPU, GPU, storage, and memory testing.

As you can see, the i5-10600k lags slightly behind the rest of the CPUs here. I wasn’t sure exactly why until a little later on in the testing process. When I run benchmarks, I run each test 3 times, then average the result together.
Here’s where I started to think the issue with performance between the CPU is caused. As you can see, the memory performance of the i5-10600 lags in the read and copy tests of all the CPUs even the older 8700k. The difference is not small either. When I first started putting the results together, I went back and re-tested. I also check to make sure I was in Dual Channel mode. Finally, I tested the memory on another test bench and the memory results on that PC were as expected.

Intel Core i5-10600k Benchmarks Continued
Cinebench R20
Cinebench is a real-world cross-platform test suite that evaluates your computer’s hardware capabilities. Improvements to Cinebench Release 20 reflect the overall advancements to CPU and rendering technology in recent years, providing a more accurate measurement of Cinema 4D’s ability to take advantage of multiple CPU cores and modern processor features available to the average user.
In Cinebench, the Core i5-10600k performs well against the other 6-core CPUs. The multi-core test shows it lagging ever so slightly behind the AMD CPUs and pretty much on equal footing with the older 8700k.
POV-Ray 3.7
The Persistence of Vision Ray Tracer, or POV-Ray, is a ray-tracing program that generates images from a text-based scene description and is available for a variety of computer platforms. It was originally based on DKBTrace, written by David Kirk Buck and Aaron A. Collins for the Amiga computers. There are also influences from the earlier Polyray[6] raytracer contributed by its author Alexander Enzmann. POV-Ray is free and open-source software with the source code available under the AGPLv3.
POV-Ray shows that AMD is slightly better when it comes to multi-core rendering whereas Intel’s i5-10600k edges out the rest in the single-core test.
[section_title title=Multimedia, Compression, Synthetic, and Gaming]
Multimedia, Compression, Synthetic, and Gaming
Handbrake
HandBrake is a free and open-source video transcoder, originally developed in 2003 by Eric Petit to make ripping a film from a DVD to a data storage device easier. Essentially, it can convert video to almost any modern format. HandBrake is available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. The workload video file is a file that I’ve used for years called Sintel. It is a 1.09-gigabyte file that is full HD. I used the Apple 240p preset for this test.
7-Zip
The 7-zip benchmark shows a rating in MIPS (million instructions per second). The rating value is calculated from the measured speed, and it is normalized with the results of Intel Core 2 CPU with multi-threading option switched off. So, if you have a modern CPU from Intel or AMD, rating values in single-thread mode must be close to real CPU frequency. There are two tests, compression with LZMA method and decompression with LZMA method. Once the total passes reach 100, the score is taken. 7-Zip gives the resulting score for decompressing, compressing, and an overall score.
PCMark
PCMark 10 is a system benchmark for Windows PCs that focuses on common tasks performed in the office. PCMark 10 offers a variety of workloads categorized into four groups. The Essentials group includes web browsing, video conferencing, and app start-up time. The Productivity group includes tests based on spreadsheets and writing. The Digital Content Creation group includes photo editing, video editing, and a rendering and visualization test. The final group, Gaming, includes tests for real-time graphics and physics. It has three different benchmarks, PCMark 10, PCMark 10 Express, and PCMark 10 Extended.
How much closer can you get? All the tested systems are extremely close together. The individual tests swap back and forth as far as lead goes between the Intel i5-10600k and the AMD Ryzen 5 3600x.
3DMARK
3DMark is a computer benchmarking tool created and developed by Futuremark used to determine the performance of a computer’s 3D graphic rendering and CPU workload processing capabilities. It does this through a series of graphics and physics and or CPU tests.
#gallery-0-40 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-40 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 100%; } #gallery-0-40 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-40 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
Firestrike and Timespy are a battle between the CPUs. Intel and AMD Both have a great showing in this 6-core shootout.
Gaming
For gaming, I chose to mix it up a little bit from what we’ve done in the past. Most games we test are first-person shooters, so I chose to throw a flight simulator in the mix. Xplane 11 depends heavily on single-thread performance, even more so than newer modern games.
While not a huge difference in performance, Intel still leads in the gaming category. Intel leads in every game I tested.
[section_title title= Overclocking]
Overclocking
First, let’s start with the stock settings.
These charts were taking running POV-RAY tests. Starting we’ll look at single-core performance. As you can see during the tests, the i5-10600k hits 5.8GHz, and the load bounces around to different cores. Temperatures remained below 00°C with a few peeks up to about 49°C.
#gallery-0-41 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-41 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 100%; } #gallery-0-41 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-41 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
Single-Core Stock Clock Speed
Single Core Stock Temperature
The multi-core test was run next, again at all stock speeds. As you can see, clock speeds leveled out around 4.5 GHz. The CPU temperature was good here too as temperatures hovered around the 56°C mark.
#gallery-0-42 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-42 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 100%; } #gallery-0-42 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-42 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
Multi-core Stock Clock Speed
Multi-core Stock Temperature
Next, I pushed the multiplier up to 52 and added a slight bit of voltage so the system could remain stable at 5.2 GHz on all cores. This is a 700 MHz overclock on the i5-10600k.
Again, let’s look at the single-core clock speed and temperatures 1st. The clock speed is stable at 5.2 GHz and for the most part core temperatures stayed below 60° c with a few spikes of about 61°c.
#gallery-0-43 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-43 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 100%; } #gallery-0-43 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-43 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
Single-Core @ 5.2 Clock Speed
Single-Core @ 5.2 Temperature
The multi-core test shows the clock speed locked at 5.2 GHz. To reach 5.2 GHz, I did have to bump the voltage up a little bit and the running voltage as reported by the software was 1.389v during the test. Temperatures were still good although a little higher than I initially expected. Temperatures hovered around the 80°c mark with a few peeks up to 81°c.
#gallery-0-44 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-44 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 100%; } #gallery-0-44 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-44 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
Multi-Core @ 5.2 GHz Clock Speed
Multi-Core @ 5.2 GHz Temperature
Keep in mind that my test benches use a 360mm custom loop for cooling. My review sample did not come with a cooler.
#gallery-0-45 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-45 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 100%; } #gallery-0-45 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-45 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
Performance gains in Aida64 get a pretty good boost. However, I think that the memory performance issue that I saw in the stock tests happen to be holding back the performance in this test.
Cinebench R20 showed a decent gain as the multi-core test gained 486 points and the single-core test gained 40 points.
POV-Ray gets a good boost in performance as well.
From a gaming standpoint, I re-benchmarked all the gaming tests that I do in CPUs.
Almost all the games saw an increase in frames per second except for Ghost Recon Wildlands. Xplane which thrives on fast single-core CPUs, gained 15 FPS, Shadow of the Tomb Raider gained 8 FPS, Farcry New Dawn gained 8 FPS, and Assassin’s Creed gained about 4.
After looking at the chart above, I decided to put all the upper-end CPUs that I have in one chart.
What’s really surprising is how well the i5-10600 CPU performs against the stock i9-10900. If this shows anything it is that games still like fast cores vs many slower cores. AMD has the core advantage in the upper end of the CPU chart and AMD has the core advantage. Frequency wins, plain and simple.
[section_title title=Conclusion and Final Thoughts]
Conclusion and Final Thoughts
The Intel Core i5-10600k retains it’s six-cores from the previous generation and also adds Hyperthreading giving the CPU a total of 12 threads. The i5-10600k gets a small boost in clock speed as well. Yet, much of the CPU remains the same as the previous generation. Like I said in the i9-10900k review, Intel is using a core design derived from Skylake which was launched in 2015. While on the top end of the CPU market, it doesn’t appear to be much left under the hood, the i5-10600k shows otherwise and I was able to get what I think is a decent overclock out of it without much work or tweaking around in the BIOS.
The 6-core CPUs that are currently on the market perform within a small margin of each other and outside of very specific benchmarks, I highly doubt anyone would “feel” or know the difference between them. Intel’s offering of a 6-core/12-thread CPU puts it squarely in competition with the AMD Ryzen 5 3600x. My benchmark experience with both CPUs shows that there is a lead advantage here and there and that advantage swaps from Intel to AMD and back and forth. I really appreciate that there is stiff competition in this particular market. Not everyone runs 8, 10, or 12 core CPUs. Intel and AMD both market their 6-core CPUs as mainstream.
Overclocking the Intel CPUs is so much easier than AMD. Specifically, I can’t get AMD’s CPUs to overclock much, if at all. Intel’s CPUs, on the other hand, seem to take overclocking in stride. With my test bench set up, I was able to gain 700 MHz to 5.2 GHz on all cores vs. 4.5 GHz in stock trim. Even single-core clock speeds peaked at 4.8 GHz and I was able to exceed that by 400 Mhz. Throw in good memory and GPU overclock and you’ll have a system that’s going to be really tough to beat.
Overall, I’m more impressed with the i5-10600k than I am with the i9-10900k. I’m not saying that the i9-10900k CPU is bad. I just feel that for the price as well as the performance and overclocking of the i5-10600k is a better bang for the buck. However, there are a few things to consider, if you’re going to migrate to 10th gen, a new motherboard will be required, so there’s added cost there. Also, my cooling system on my test benches utilizes custom loop components. Thankfully, the waterblock fits the new motherboard socket but, if you’re new to water cooling, there will be added cost there too. At the time of the review, no retailers have listed the pricing of the i5-10600k however, Intel says their RCP (Recommended Customer Price) at $262. Keep in mind this price is for retailers buying in quantities of 1000 chips. More likely we’ll see the i5-10600k retail for $300 or more. At the time of this review the AMD Ryzen 5 3600x on sale for $204. However, with a decent overclock the i5-10600k reaches the gaming performance of the i9-10900k. Overall, the i5-10600k was just a little more impressive in terms of performance and overclockability.

Announcing Emby Server 4.0
At long last we're pleased to announce Emby Server 4.0. This new release will begin rolling out over the next 24 hours, so please be patient. This has been our longest release period ever, and going forward we intend to get back to a more frequent release schedule. This release is packed with improved performance, updates to existing features, as well as several brand new features. Important Upgrade Information After installing the update, the server will begin a database upgrade operation. If you attempt to open the web app during this time, you'll be given a friendly message informing you about this. This operation could take a little time, so please be patient with it. After this is complete, any plugins you may have installed will require updates, so please check the status of this on your server dashboard. If any plugins are updated, remember that Emby Server will need to be restarted. After all updates have been applied, we recommend that you run a library scan. The first scan following the update could take longer than usual, so please be patient. With that out of the way, let's go over the highlights of this release. No Telemetry or Anonymous Usage Reporting If you're wondering why the anonymous usage reporting setting has been removed, it's because not only have we removed the setting, but we've removed the function altogether. We know our audience pretty well thanks to this community, and because of that we've decided we no longed need any data reporting. New Emby Live TV Guide Data As previously announced, Live TV Guide Data is Now Included with Emby Premiere, if you're in the USA, Canada, or the UK. What does this mean? This means if you're in the USA, Canada or UK, you'll no longer need to setup an account with another website nor pay someone else for this data. You'll simply enter your zip code into Emby, select your channel lineup, and we'll handle retrieving your guide data. We believe this will provide a better experience for Emby users with fewer setup steps. The new data is also quite a bit richer, and we will be looking at how we can take advantage of that to bring new Live TV features to Emby. Going forward, Live TV will require Emby Premiere in the web app, where previously this was not the case. How to Migrate From Schedules Direct If you are setting up the server fresh, then you should use our new Emby guide provider, which will be the default. If you are already using Schedules Direct, then you can continue to use it through the remainder of your Schedules Direct subscription. Schedules Direct has pledged to continue to honor your subscriptions, and we thank them for that. New Levels of Performance A database re-structuring brings your Emby Server and apps to new levels of performance that were previously not possible. Screens will load faster, videos will start quicker, and more. This will also manifest itself in other areas, such as improved library scan performance, and faster live tv guide refreshes. Please Note: The first scan after the update may take quite a while depending on your library contents and exactly what features you have enabled. Please be patient as subsequent scans will be much faster. New and Improved Hardware Acceleration This has been rebuilt from the ground up and is better than ever. We now have sophisticated hardware detection that runs on server startup to determine what your system can support. This allows us to provide you with an "easy mode" setting: And if you enable advanced control, you'll be able to see what was detected: Our hardware transcoding has been rewritten to take better advantage of each of the major GPU platforms, whether it be QuickSync, Nvidia, DXVA, VAAPI, MediaCodec, or others. This will allow hardware transcoding performance to perform better than ever. Best of all, you can now monitor this on the server dashboard. The green bar indicates the current playback position while the orange bar designates the range that has been transcoded so far. Important: Hardware acceleration has been truly a major effort for us, and because of this, it will now require Emby Premiere on all platforms except for Nvidia Shield and Western Digital. Transcoding Throttling is Back This feature has returned after a two year hiatus and is better than ever. What is transcoding throttling? Sometimes your server can transcode content much quicker than you're actually watching it. When the transcoding process gets a big enough lead on your watching position, we can slow it down on the fly in order to reduce the load on your server. Then as you're watching, if we need to speed it back up, we can do that too. And best of all, your server dashboard will show you when transcoding is being throttled: Emby Server Now Available for Android and Nvidia Shield Stay tuned for separate announcements. Improved Search Search is now faster and now supports fuzzy search! This means you don't need to type your searches perfectly in order to see the matches you're looking for. For example, if you accidentally enter "Bad Breaking", instead of "Breaking Bad", you'll still be able to see Breaking Bad in the results. Multi-Resolution TV Shows Without requiring any changes to your file names, we now support having multiple versions of episodes. This doesn't require any special setup and you'll now see the friendly version selection on the episode screen: Revamped Grouping Into Collections This has now been moved from a server setting to directly onto the Movies list screen where it can be easily toggled. Expanded Filtering You can now filter on more fields such as container, video codec, audio codec, subtitle codec, and more. This filters are also remembered ! Expanded User Library Access User library access can now be controlled for sub-folders, providing you with even greater flexibility than before. Other Improvements * Update to .NET Core 2.2 * Update to Sqlite 3.26.0 * Improve library scan performance * Improve performance of live tv guide refresh * Improve subtitle delivery performance * Support Brotli http compression * Display video size on detail screens in Media Info * Significantly reduce dlna related network traffic * Add More Like This On Live TV section * Add tabbed layouts for music videos and home videos * Add network browsing to directory picker for Linux, Android and MacOS. * Change new indicators for programs to match guide data * Rework mobile context menus * Rework tv tabs to be consistent with Emby Theater * Downloaded subtitles are now saved using the two-character language code * Improve transcoding of low bit rate hevc * Add Moviedb season image provider * Show favorite people * Support tvg-chno with m3u tuners * Support tvg-shift with m3u tuners * Allow a library to be named "backdrops", a previously reserved name * Improve server dashboard display with blue radiance theme * Improve mobile server dashboard with bottom navigation * Added live tv channels to search feature * Improve layout of live tv channels tab under live tv * Add audio books content type * Use es-MX with MovieDb when Spanish language is selected along with Mexico as the country * Improve metadata with absolute episode ordering * Cloud sync upload improvements * Support launching android server on device startup * Add container, video codec, audio codec, and subtitle codec filters * Improve multi-resolution naming recognition * Improve automatic refreshing in the web app * Improve resiliency with iptv streams * Improve Windows sleep prevention while server is being used * Improve Chromecast volume control * Improve xmltv parsing of European characters * Support multiple images with xmltv * Use transcode=none profile for HD Homerun when appropriate * Support splitting musicbrainz id's on both slashes and semi-colons * Make alpha pickers dynamic based on content * Improve identify feature * Improve manual refreshing when replacing existing images * Improve database cleanup procedures of removed content * Improve automatic refreshing of recordings * Restore user permission to change password and profile image * Prevent syncing of in-progress recordings * Improve authentication failure logging for Fail2ban support * Add API to find item by provider id * Update new user defaults to not allow deleting media * Make news notifications configurable * Reduce size of Windows and MacOS installers by 30 MB * Support user subtitle download permissions * Defer collage image generation until images are needed * Move AudioDb and Omdb to pre-installed plugins * Move fanart.tv to pre-installed plugin * Move MusicBrainz to pre-installed plugin * Move MovieDb metadata provider to pre-installed plugin * Move nfo saver to pre-installed plugin * Move tvdb to pre-installed plugin * Support per-library resume settings Bug Fixes * Fix issue of changing password in Firefox when Firefox password manager is used * Fix repeated Visual Studio C++ install prompts when VS2017 is already present * Fix favorite artists page showing empty list * Fix search by accent characters * Fix web access by ipv6 ip address * Fix More Like This for artists always showing same content * Fix xmltv programs not being marked as new when they are also a Premiere * Fix recording image file names for shows containing a period in the name * Workaround .net core crashes on network availability changes * Fix collection and playlist separation per library * Fix hardware transcoding options being reverted to defaults * Fix cloud sync upload throttle not being applied * Fix xmltv failures with SMB paths * Fix audio books getting immediately marked as watched * Fix intermittent crash associated with log file rotation * Fix windows task scheduler entries not getting cleaned up * Fix typo in Exynos spelling * Fix remote URL showing with remote access disabled * Various DLNA bug fixes http://dlvr.it/QwgNpv

Replacement hjsplit file splitter joiner

#REPLACEMENT HJSPLIT FILE SPLITTER JOINER HOW TO#
#REPLACEMENT HJSPLIT FILE SPLITTER JOINER MP4#
#REPLACEMENT HJSPLIT FILE SPLITTER JOINER SOFTWARE#
#REPLACEMENT HJSPLIT FILE SPLITTER JOINER PC#
#REPLACEMENT HJSPLIT FILE SPLITTER JOINER DOWNLOAD#
#REPLACEMENT HJSPLIT FILE SPLITTER JOINER SOFTWARE#
hi, i actually started using VideoRedo 2 days ago, because of my frustration with some of the open source software i have been using, not for encoding/conversions, but for file splitting inaccuracy. I would try a commercial editor like Solveigm video splitter or videoredo h264 suite.but even they aren't perfect.
#REPLACEMENT HJSPLIT FILE SPLITTER JOINER MP4#
Avidemux works brilliantly with splitting and joining mkv / mp4 files, never have an issue, even 1080/50p files.įreemake is the biggest piece of crap i think i have ever seen, looks like a kid created the user interface while playing in a candy store (horrid looking thing it is) and it might be free, but the makers actually get paid to incorporate 2 apps into its installer, forcing you to "untick" the boxes for those other apps during installation, and when you get it installed and open it, a big box appears asking you to install the "black bar removal" tool" which they then ask for a $9.99 donation to do it ? It's not hard, just a pain.įreemake: failed a test but I don't remember which. The hardest part is creating a text file with all of the files you want concatenated. Since it uses -c copy (-c is what codec to use, copy means just copy existing, don't transcode) it goes very fast, AND there is no loss in quality since it is not transcoded. Since all of my files used the same codecs, I used the first example in the document above. But I want to merge all of the clips into one file when I'm all done. Every time you hit the pause button, you get a new file, which is ok. How to concatenate (join, merge) media filesīy the way, in my case, I was trying to concatenate 150 files from my Canon HF M50.
#REPLACEMENT HJSPLIT FILE SPLITTER JOINER HOW TO#
Here is a link to the ffmpeg documentation describing how to join.
#REPLACEMENT HJSPLIT FILE SPLITTER JOINER DOWNLOAD#
I had to download the latest version of ffmpeg for this to work. I have had similar problems to others with the audio sync problem, but I just tried this using the -f concat option with ffmpeg and it worked - with no audio sync issue. I have finally found a solution to this issue that worked for me.
#REPLACEMENT HJSPLIT FILE SPLITTER JOINER PC#
Once I get my pc running again, I will look at the program you recommend. I have gotten a reply from AimOne (NOT same as Aimrsoft lol) about their splitter/joiner recommending I install the K-Lite Codec. Some of these programs including this one use the NVidia GPUs to accelerate encoding and it is conceivable that this is related, as I did notice during the reboot and fix-attempt sequence one blue screen involving the video driver. It's possible this is a pure coincidence and there is a hardware problem. Several reboots and tries later, with freezes occurring pretty much upon doing anything inside that program, my machine no longer makes it thru the Windows startup even the startup recovery has failed my computer is now effectively dead. Then, when I cancelled an operation, it froze my machine. It appeared to actually work correctly (it's about $60). Yesterday, I tried Aimrsoft's program " Total Video Converter". I've been evaluating programs which give free eval copies. I'm willing to spend reasonable money - I don't demand free lol. Even modest testing in the lab should have revealed these problems. Overall software quality in this field appears to this engineer to be shockingly low. All other programs I've tried for that latter functionality failed in some way within minutes of my trying them. mp4 correctly, but has no splitting or joining capabilities. So far, I haven't seen one program that correctly does it all. I'm actually willing to pay for a good solution to general conversion, splitting, and joining, but it's nice to be able to evaluate them first. VOB files correctly it will often tell you that a file of 24 mins duration, say, (which plays fine in other programs) is of 2 mins duration, or sometimes zero and that's all the program will recognize. Failed after merely 10 secs of testing.įreemake: failed a test but I don't remember which.ĬUDA video converter: cannot load. Only problem was it consisted of 24 mins of black frame, which was not the original!ĪIM's splitter-joiner: couldn't even open an MP4 file, simply said "cannot play ". Once I got that part to work, it split off the section I wanted and saved it. It would often get into loops of the form "can't advance to point " from which the only escape was to use task manager to terminate the program. and I'm a VERY experienced software engineer.Īvidemux: extremely confusing, had a lot of difficulties synchronizing on a key frame. Hello All! I've tried a number of these programs most of them simply don't work.

My laptop turns on, but my keyboard won't work and my laptop screen is just black. Question Will a X751 dc cable work on G551 laptop? Question Laptop (asus s15 s530) won't turn on after charger sparked I'd like a solid laptop with the ability to do some video work, but I really don't know much about the hardware demands of Adobe since I've not really used Premiere Pro since CS2 (and a machine was provided). The new SB graphics are good enough for my Age of Empires III needs (in fact, most graphics for the past 2-3 years are sufficient). I'll have to look at the benchmarks and reviews again to see how it fairs.Ĭorrect me if I'm wrong, but the GPU typically doesn't do much when transcoding or editing video (excluding nVidia CUDA acceleration). I agree that llano is a good platform the integrated graphics are amazing (besting many entry level dedicated cards). That isn't to say that I won't look more into it, but I've mainly looked at Sandy Bridge machines because of the CPU power. Yes, llano isn't bad, but the issue with it is that it still has the forever old Stars CPU, and I'm afraid that CPU performance won't be that big of a jump from what I have right now, a 2 Ghz Turion X2. The battery life should be good too on those. The GPU, on the other hand, is pretty good for the price you're paying. While the CPU part of the laptop may not beat Sandy Bridge or the likes, it's not entirely crap either. Most comes with 1600x900 but you do get the usual 1366x768. You may want to take a look at the new released llano laptops. I also tend to lean towards the new Sandy Bridge processors because they seem to be faster, and I may be doing some video encoding and editing in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 for class that I will be taking. I would like something significantly more powerful than my current machine:

If its on the Disk, too, you must stop the docker engine, execute the mover and recheck through "Compute", after the mover has finished its work. It shows if your data is located only on the SSD or on SSD and Disk. If you are changing the path of multiple containers, do this every time after you stopped the container, before changing the path!ģ.) This works only if appdata is already located on your SSD which happens only if you used the cache modes "prefer" or "only":Ĥ.) To be sure that your Plex files are only on your SSD, you must open "Shares" and Press "Compute" for your appdata share. Usually you set your Plex docker paths as follows:Īnd this path for your AppData Config Path (which contains the thumbnails, frequently updated database file, etc):īut instead, you should use this as your Config Path:īy that you bypass unraid's overhead (SHFS) and write directly to the cache disk.ġ.) Create a backup of your appdata folder! You use this tweak on your own risk!Ģ.) Before changing a path to Direct Disk Access you need to stop the container and wait for at least 1 minute or even better, execute this command to be sure that all data is written from the RAM to the drives: (I placed this post here because it should not be about the dockers but things around it and Unraid, please move it if you find a better place for it!) Thanks for a really great forum with so many help-full people Looking forward to getting some input from the power users! 👍 and updating this post with new things! Speed up the UI? have anyone tried to move the DB to RAM? and did it help? What other things or tips do you have to speed things up? Use direct /cache/ path: Big thanks to sharing this! (If you have space then adding Appdata/Docker.img really makes a difference!) Link from Reddit - I guess it would just be a matter of copying to /temp? (If you already have your Appdata on M.2 then might not be big difference).Moving transcoding to RAM (Update better guide for doing this)ĭB optimize over time (Mostly Plex not Emby) - people with large collection run this even if the DB is not corrupt? And afterwards should load much faster? Structure of media in each folder/optimize files for transcoding? HW encoding using Unraid Nvidia plugin + GPU So I would really like to collect all the tweaks and "Hack" done by others to increase performance of large Media servers doing transcodingįirst just to get the "normal" recommendation listed:Īppdata on cache drive (Fast as possible - SSD/M2) Thanks to the path substitution technology, clients can be allowed direct access to the server, which facilitates direct playback, without additional resource usage to transcode content.Unraid is great and I am like many others using my Unraid server for Plex (And of course other things) It is a UPnP media server that allows data sharing over the network, without requiring advanced configuration. Media Browser Server allows media file sharing and streaming between multiple devices and platforms.
#Emby server transcoding on live playback download
From the dashboard, you can easily change the server configuration, create and manage users, add media to the library and delete existing files, download and attach subtitles, artwork and metadata information to the media folders, extract chapter images and many more. Media Browser Server features a web-based interface that requires any modern web browser to run. Moreover, it takes care of the file transfers and the transcoding process, ensuring compatibility with the target device without requiring prior conversion. The server offers a secure and comfortable way to organize and manage your multimedia library, as well as keep an eye on the initiated connections.
#Emby server transcoding on live playback windows
And thanks to the available mobile apps for devices running on iOS, Android, Windows Phone or Windows 8, you can pick up exactly where you left off, regardless of your location. With its help, you can stream multimedia content to a compatible device that has a dedicated client installed, such as Emby Theater, Media Browser Classic or XBMC (now known as Kodi), which require an API key in order to initiate the connection.įurthermore, the developers provide media clients or plugins for Roku, Samsung Smart TVs and MediaPortal, allowing fast access to the media library.
#Emby server transcoding on live playback Pc
Previously known as Media Browser Server, Emby Server facilitates the communication and data transfer between your PC and DLNA-compliant devices in your network, enabling you to enjoy videos, music and photos on any platform.
