Nice - HQ encode, 8-core bulldozer

Got around to a decent video encode, something I'd have prior, with
certain likelihood, run into issues, at the least with further audio
processing I also run. Quadcores then, octals now. Distribution
across eight cores can also be seen favorably, a token estimate at 20%
processing demands, on average -- less linearity to any code specifics
(modeling for a multi-core environ), than reliance on AMD's generic
distribution for cores. Not that 20% figure need be so radically
different for resolution across quadcore, either. Temps aren't
especially significant, or also decent.

What it does is become the biggest jump since an I'd abandoned an
Intel Duron single-core -- through and subsequent dualcores, including
maxing those to same-socket quadcores (w/ both AMD and Intel,
same-class MBs). For me that makes this my next-generation update, a
month or two ago, when deciding to update to an octal. As I can't
think of any other (program) usage I'll likely engage, offhand, more
demanding, or so tailored for a wider range of cores.

If it weren't for AMD, for all of what an Intel octal designates --
not much, actually, in any practical sense -- and for all of what is
pretty much left, Intel hyper-threading -- there's not much else,
being AMD hasn't a lot else to show for itself. A recent cheapening
Bulldozers for otherwise a nondescript achievement, at or below quads,
notably for those models [above] in application to make a further
distinction to marketing its Ryzen platform.

The Trickle-Down Effect, as it's at times also called.
