Posting some render times for latest MacBook Pro and BlackMagic Pro EGPU

Over the years, I've been tracking in a draft post render times for the first 10 minutes of a conference video.  It takes in two HD streams, resizes them with some voice and renders. It's not typical of anything, but I still track it cause I can.

Thought I would share since I just ran another one on the new MacBook Pro Core i9 with the built in AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 and also running with the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 EGPU (BlackMagic Pro).

Spoiler: Pretty impressed with BlackMagic Pro EGPU. It also works great for editing on 4K monitors. Much better then when plugging 4K monitor directly into the USB-C port.

    I don't suppose you can add a column that includes the hardware cost?

    So Peter, was the desktop computer at the bottom of the sheet a PC? Being at the bottom makes me think it's the oldest machine also, yet it is quite a bit faster than all the others?

    So, just to ask the obvious (in the most non-offending way possible). It looks like you list the newest computer on top; why have you gone with all the other 'type' computers when the oldest machine (PC) on the list is quite a bit faster than any of them to date?
