Well I finally got around to updating my Benchmarking methodology and am rolling out a new online Roundup21.
I've automated the benchmarking itself with a script that's still a work in progress. I've never done an application with scripts before but I'm learning. So far I've knocked out running the Sample Project benchmark as well as the original RedCar and the 4K AVC, HEVC and ProRes422 extensions. I've also updated the online Magic Table html to hopefully make it more useful as it grows in size.
So far I've tested my scripting system on 1 machine and here are the results:

For a graphical presentation, I also did a little chart:
This is my quickest machine. The build is documented here. As I knock out benches on my other machines, the contrast should be interesting. What I found interesting on this machine is that the Sample Project benchmark shows minimal variation between the accelerated VCE and QSV encoders compared to the CPU-based MainConcept encoder. While the RedCar variations show significant contrast for HD and dramatic contrast for 4K camera footage. Keep in mind that this machine has pretty high performance CPU and GPU. More to follow.
