That's exactly what's written in the release notes, presets are slower but they have the same quality as the next preset, so you will have to compare for example M3 in the new version to M2 in the old one.

I find it somewhat amusing that Michael tested Intel's work on an AMD platform. But hey, at least he proved that Intel did in fact yield a performance improvement similar to what they claimed.

Could you please also add the tests for `libaomav1` and `rav1e` as a comparison to reflect the relative improvement of libsvtav1？

Why would anyone build a productivity machine using Intel?

I know that's a joke but actually I've had a lot of issues with Ryzen CPUs, particularly with USB, and strange stuttering.

But then I had issues with Intel's audio drivers and usb sound cards (particularly in windows) where simply plugging in an additional capture card caused all audio streams to lock up.

What's really awesome is I have this add-in network card. In Linux, no problem, just fine. In Windows, within 3 seconds of connecting an ethernet to it I get a BSOD

It would be nice to also report the filesize, You could use something like | pv > /dev/null if you didn't want to store the files.
