    For comparison, below are some benchmarks I ran on a 2013 and 2015 iMac 27, comparing to an older 4Ghz Windows PC with a GTX-660. I can’t explain why the BruceX test was so fast on the 2015 iMac (about 19 sec). I re-ran it many times. It shows the danger of relying on a single benchmark which for various (and often unknown) reasons may run abnormally slow or fast on certain platforms.

    Thats because of Intel Quick Sync.
    It works with i5 and i7 cpu’s and it accelerates just like a GPU would.

    Its hardware encoding in short, where else a GPU relies on software encoding and the GPU to process the effect etc
