Fun Test: CPU utilization running 6 1080p Youtube clips

[IntelUser2000]

People with Windows 7 systems try this out. Windows 7 has a feature where if you have multiple windows open you can shift right click on internet browser icon to put them side by side for easy comparisons.

With the system I have in my sig.

1080p Youtube, IE8, Flash 10.2.153.1, 6 clips: Avatar/Nvidia PureVideo/Dark Knight/Tron/Battle LA/Big Bunny Animation

Core i7 2600K at stock 3.4GHz speeds with Turbo Boost + Hyperthreading:
6 clips: 28-33%
1 clip: 6-10%

Core i7 2600K at stock 3.4GHz with only 1 core enabled in BIOS, Turbo Boost and Hyperthreading disabled:
1 clip: 45-48%
2 clips: 85-95%(greater than 2 made the clips stutter)

4 cores with Hyperthreading and Turbo Boost disabled
6 clips: 50-55%

I'll try this on my Win7 box, not at it now but will be tomorrow.


PS - that's a lot of HD porn to take in all at once, isn't it?

GPU is Youtube Flash accelerated so I don't think this is terribly special.

You can run 15 videos if you wanted,,, and CPU would barely go to 60 percent usage.

HD porn is a legit reason to get 3 monitors imho.

I don't think so. I think this system should be able to handle 10 clips max. Youtube flash takes much more utilization than running on hard drive. Like I said, 2 clips max with single core HT and Turbo disabled.

LOL and shake head at all the porn comments.

Then the thread would be full of real geeks...

im gonna guess most of the guys who posted the word porn are already married.

All those cores are going to be really useful when you decide to watch several videos at once.

 

[tweakboy]

Yap with my old Athlon XP 3200+ I can have 1 movie ,, 2 it starts to jitter.

 

[AkumaX]

look for 2160p videos

 

[thescreensavers]

meh, I wish I had GPU acceleration freaking flash

 

[AkumaX]

actually i have a 2160p 120fps video (mkv) want to check it out?

I must be stupid but what does shift right click do? All I get is the stacked/cascade options.

Right below stacked is side-by-side (at least for me)

I don't even get those options. Huh?
