I would advise a healthy dose of skepticism whenever you see results without extensive coverage of the testing methodology. Did they use the same hardware reference frame (same memory modules, same SSD)? Did they use the same software version (and contemporary versions of x265 too, not [e.g.] two years old ones)? Did they use the same parameter configuration? Did they use the same content source? Did they test multiple scenarios (i.e. various bit depths, various chroma subsampling types, various resolutions)? Did they use an OS which allows meaningful comparison of highly-threaded CPUs (not repeating the unfortunate case of Threadrippers on Windows)?
