Encoding Functioning

Using HandBrake we converted a 560MB mkv file to the mp4 format and measured the frame rate each processor was able to attain. Processors with multiple cores will have a natural advantage in this test equally nosotros have plant HandBrake can utilize up to half dozen cores.

It was no surprise that the Athlon 2 X4 630 dominates this examination. This processor was effectually 25% faster than the Athlon II X3 435, which itself was more than twice as fast equally the Athlon Two X2 250 in spite of having simply one actress core and a 3.v% frequency reward. The Phenom II X2 555 was 1fps faster than Intel'southward all-time performer in this test, the Pentium G6950.

The x264 Hard disk Benchmark 3.0 is used to measure the performance of a 2-laissez passer 1280x720 encoding, displaying the results in a frame per 2d format. The outcome was like to what we saw in the HandBrake examination, with the Athlon II X4 630 coming out on top. This fourth dimension it merely beats the Athlon II X3 435 by an 8% margin, though. The Athlon Ii X3 435 was 34% faster than the Athlon II X2 250.

The Athlon 2 X2 250 beat all four Intel processors, leading the Pentium E6600 and G6950 past a v% margin. The Sempron 140 managed simply xix.9fps, making information technology 37% slower than the Celeron E3300, which was Intel's slowest CPU.

Using TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress we converted a 715MB avi file to the mpg format and measured the fourth dimension it took for each processor to complete this task. The Athlon 2 X4 630 is the best pick here, taking just 11 minutes and 5 seconds. The Athlon Two X3 435 was second best again, followed by the Phenom II X2 555 that just edged out the Pentium G6950.

The Athlon II X2 250 beat the Pentium E6600 past a fraction, while the Pentium E5400 and Celeron E3300 processors were considerably slower. The Celeron E3300 in particular was quite a slug, taking 21 minutes and 35 seconds, only the Sempron 140 might actually put y'all to sleep with a conversion fourth dimension of 36 minutes and 48 seconds.
