I'm having a performance issue with MeGui and a new computer build that is 7 times slower for AC3 encoding than my 10y old computer.

I'm drag n' dropping an mkv file with audio/video into the "Audio input" field, selected FFmpeg AC3 with these settings (nothing fancy) and that's about it.

With my new AMD 3900XT, B550, 64GB 3200MHz DDR4, SSD nvme, Win10 it takes about 8 minutes to process.

With my 10y old i7 2600K, P8P67, 16GB of RAM @ 1600MHz and 7200rpm HDD, Win7, it takes about 50 seconds:

I ran several performance benchmarks (Cinebench R20, Prime95, OCCT, memtest and userbenchmark) and it seems like everything is working like it should. Yet, it's 8 times slower with MeGui AC3 encoding.

Is the issue with MeGui or my computer? Can it be an Intel vs AMD thing?
