Another important advantage of Zen 2 architecture and its implementation of Ryzen 3000 series, will be the CPU clock during heavy execution of AVX2 instructions, like running x265 app.

If AMD has been interpreted correctly, we will see no performance penalty due to lower clocks during x265 AVX2 code execution.

Intel sees lower clocks leveraging AVX2 instructions of x265 with all CPU architectures, so far.

I think Ryzen 3000 (and Threadripper, EPYC) based on Zen 2 architecture has all the benefits to be a lot faster than any Intel CPU ever released with the same number of cores.

And due to the fact that all AMD CPUs have more cores than Intel nowadays, then x265 could be a killer app for AMD, like Cinebench.
