Final Cut now has better performance again with my Vega 64 (Sapphire NITRO+) in Catalina, it's super annoying that results keep changing back and forth between updates, it's making me consider switching to DaVinci Resolve.

Catalina 10.15 = 12 Seconds.
Mojave 10.14.6 = 23 seconds.
 
FCPX 10.4.7 resulted in a bigger-than-expected performance increase on my system too.

Sapphire RX-580 8GB
Mojave 10.14.6
iMac 18,3 - Headless / Orinoco FB

Prores: 9 seconds
H264: 12 seconds

Prores was around 16 seconds prior to the FCPX update. All my tests were with Mojave 10.14.6.

You have Dual Graphic Card Setup right? Your result on Catalina and FCPX 10.4.7 is far more better than mine ( one Radeon VII)
I think both the macOS and FCPX are optimized intentionally for Dual Graphic Cards setup.
 
Yes 2 X RX580/8gb,

Very fast with Prorez, H264 is the same as others 12sec,
but I have no Intel quicksync on this old system

Fun update, I'm getting 6.9 seconds on Catalina with a Dual Vega 64 setup and an 8700k @5.1ghz. Insane!
