I read through some of the guides and posts here and was wondering if I could get CPU advice for my Blue Iris server build. I plan on having 19 cameras (8MP) recording continuously in H.265. According to my calculations, at 10fps, I will hit 1520 MP/s; at 15 fps, I will hit 2280 MP/s; at 20fps I'm will top 3040 MP/s. I noticed that bp2008 tested the 3950X. If I understand correctly, at 1900 MP/s, CPU usage was still under 50%. If I bought the 3960X, would it be reasonable to assume that it could handle 2280 MP/s without any hiccups? If I had to choose between a Threadripper, EPYC, or i9 at a similar price range, can I expect the one that has the highest PassMark score to perform the best (lowest CPU usage at highest MP/s)? For example, if the 3960X and EPYC 7402P were similarly priced, can I expect the 3960X to perform better?
