HWBOT X.265 Benchmark and 3DMark TimeSpy

HWBOT x265 Benchmark is based on the open source x265 encoder (http://x265.ru/en/). It can take advantage of modern CPUs instructions set and multithread support is also very good. However this benchmarks is also capable of running even on as old processors as AMD Athlon or Intel Pentium III. Of course on the legacy hardware the encoding time is rather long. There are two presets available – 1080p and 4k. The main goal of both of them is to convert H264 source video to H265/HEVC and measure average fps. This test benefits both from CPU and memory tuning, so a good combination of both helps increase the score/performance. The 4K version works well as a stability tester as well, when using overkill mode.

This CPU test measures processor performance using a combination of physics computations and custom simulations.It is designed to stress the CPU while minimizing GPU load to ensure that GPU performance is not a limiting factor. The two main components of the test workload are an implementation of a boid system to simulate flocking behaviour and a physics simulation. The boids use a simple, highly optimized simulation whereas the physics simulation is performed with the x86 path of the Bullet Open Source Physics library (v2.83) using rigid bodies and a Featherstone solver. Of the two, the boids are more dominant and make up between 40% and 70% of the workload.In the Time Spy CPU test, the boids are implemented with SSSE3 vectorization, which is common practice in games.
