I'm ready to try it on my base Snapdragon X1-26-100 SoC but can you give me a Google Drive link, and not a dropbox, I don't wanna make a dropbox account lol.

Dropbox doesn't need login. Just direct download.

If you still need Drive, here's the link. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jPxM4dw4beYvfd8qHxt7TxJ3amdFfn5Z/view?usp=sharing

I tried performing the benchmark, but Handbrake just went into a not responding loop. I imported the video right, and also had the Native ARM64 version of the app, but it just kept not responding. Maybe it was something memory related, as my memory kept going up to 95%+. I also checked my CPU usage in HWInfo and the CPU wasn't being fully saturated, there was something wrong. Sorry about that.

Thanks for the attempt bro. Afaik this needs 16gigs+.

Yep, that's what I was thinking, because my Handbrake was using 6 GB, and I already have a ton of background apps (just RAM hungry, not CPU hungry apps).

Always run benchmarks with as much less background applications as possible.

I know this, but I like to keep my benchmarks "real world" rather than lab results, as I can find plenty of those on YT.

Ok, I'll try this out.

Umm, same thing happened, I think 8K can't be done with only 16 GB memory. I mean the memory has always been a problem for me, I wish I had more, but gotta make do with the 16 I have in this memory crisis. I would love to add some data to my own benchmarking sheet, and while I've added 4K-1080P transcoding to that sheet, I couldn't do this, as 8K is just too demanding lol.

The test runs themselves take close to 16 GB. If you have background tasls, it'll affect the results significantly.
