You raise an interesting point. I wonder if some of the difficulty in comparing using the visual core display is weather or not it reflects speed stepping in the cores.
I recall that the only thing that makes my Mac Pro 12 core get up and run full tilt, with the cooling fans winding up to high speed is Sorenson Squeeze (R.I.P.). An interesting side note is that Squeeze was always only 32 bit. But boy could it get my machine cranking on an encode.
I don't have Adobe Encoder to compare since I let my subscription lapse a few years ago after the umpteenth time they tried to jack the price up on me. Don't really miss it except for photoshop, which I replaced with GIMP and GraphicConverter.
But probably the issue is CPU speed stepping.

Today it CC 2015 Adobe Media Encoder and the CPU Usage window is screaming with all 24 bars up to the top. The second bar of the core hyper thread is just a little below top and the first bars are all to the top. My visual math would suggest approx 2,100 cpu percentage but in the Activity monitor window the %CPU is bouncing around 1,400 to 1,600 %CPU. Curious why CPU Usage bars look like more core is being used? IIRC with Avid it's more visually bar graph and %CPU comparable. Is there something about how AME processes that would cause the perceived discrepancy. I am running parallel encoding with ProResHQ and 2 H_264 encodes for each file. Not a broke but makes me curious.John Moore Barking Trout Productions Studio City, CA bigfish@pacbell.net
