Summary
Limitation on amount of video encodes (to H.264) that can be simultaneously undertaken with an Intel® Core™ processor.
Description
Unable to determine how many concurrent videos encode (to H.264) can be undertaken on Intel® Core™ i7-12700K using FFMPEG.
Resolution
- There is no theoretical limit to the number of concurring videos encodes that can happen simultaneously, at least not from the driver and graphics unit perspective.
- The practical limit is going to be defined by the overall hardware configuration and the software you are using. For example, running 3 simultaneous encode jobs and starting a 4th one can be possible on a system with 16GB of memory, but the same experience may be slower on a similar system with 12GB.
