New CPU Test Methodology: Code Compile, Gaming, Transcoding, & More (2020) Video
This overviews our CPU testing methodology for 2020, including what's being used on AMD's R3 3100 & 3300X, Intel's i9-10900K, and more. Ft. code compile, H.265 Handbrake, games, & more.

Benchmarking begins again for our CPU test benches. We've completely overhauled our test suite from the past year, and this one will be in use for at least a year going forward. We typically get about 12-14 months of use out of our CPU test suites, but we update periodically along the way. We have one major bench overhaul annually, then we have minor updates (like important Windows changes, GPU driver updates, etc.) throughout the test period. These are easier to manage than the full overhauls, which require a few months of validation and data analysis to ensure we're producing numbers that are useful. In this methodology piece, we're going to show you some of the 'bad data' that we've produced (so that viewers can better understand why we toss some benchmarks), then show how we corrected that going forward.
In addition to all of this, we've added a whole host of additional validation reports before and after our test suites finish, which allow us to keep an eye on the bench setup to ensure everything remained as expected. This would include memory timings, which we manually control, but also includes CPU or BIOS changes.
New tests include code compile with Chromium, by very popular demand, Handbrake H.264 to H.265 transcode benchmarks, and returns of several from last year (but updated). We also included some standard deviation charts to help illustrate run-to-run variation and to also illustrate a method of catching bad data. We try to determine the best CPU for Adobe Premiere and video editing, Adobe Photoshop, transcoding, code compile/programming, and gaming in our benchmarks, among other things. Although our reviews will go heavy on the AMD vs. Intel CPU performance scaling, in this one, we're focusing on the 'how' and 'why' of benchmarking.

About the Site 🌐
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟
Content and Users 🎵
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact 🤑
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
