4K HDR Software Decoding?

Server Version#:
Player Version#:

Hi,

I have some questions regarding software decoding, and I am opening a discussion about people their opinions.

My situation:

I have a chinese mobo, with a single E5-2470 v2.
To my surprise I am able to decode in full software using the system, where it only has 10k passmark.

I have included a screenshot.

How is this possible?

And is this possible in plex?

I want people to share their experiences with cpu software decoding in VLC compared to Plex.

I hope this helps people.

Awaiting your response,

Joannes Wyckmans

Note: I might be very lucky, because I was able to handle 32 threads software programs stable using this single cpu. Maybe I have a lucky print or something?

Edit: it is now software decoding a single 4K HDR blu ray mkv (hevc) to 1080p 8mbps h264. Picture available on imgur

I see plex x64 for windows is available for plex pass.
