Intel still has crown in only Video encoding that matters

So it ties one benchmark and is a joke is everything else.. plus heat and power. Meh.. Get a 820D if all you do is encode w/TMP no bodies stopping you.
 
I knew that was bogus cause I did my own testing that showed my 2.4c@3.5ghz and my 1.8ghz@2.66ghz are actually very close in TMPGenc with the P4 leading by about 6%......That being said my 3.5ghz northwood would have laid a smackdown on the 3.2ghz pressy so commonsense has to show that no way does a 3.2ghz even EE model outperform a 4000+ 2.4ghz by that much...

Also remember TMPGenc is one of the most extremely optimized encoding apps, period. The 840 D lacks HT and since HT was a 20% gain in TMPGenc alone and most video encoding apps wil only increase 50-60% with dual cores they stand to actually see less of an increase with the non HT chips...HT dual cores like EE would have done fine if it was ran at a higher speed but at 3.2ghz core speeds I wouldn't believe it....

I will check out for the full review and see what the heck they did to neuter the A64...the FX55 would not be behind that far to a 3.6 and 3.73ghz chip....I call BS.....

Thanks Petnorth those numbers jive more with what I was thinking it should have been....

Edit: They didn't appear to neuter it.....Running right timings...Maybe it is right. SSE3 appears to make a big jump to perhaps a 3.2ghz pressy would have been equal to my 3.5ghz northwood....

I also tend to maybe agree with it due to the fact the larger jump per dual core amd is right in line with 2 cores and SSE3 addition.....


The 3dsmax test is a hair different then other review sites as well though the mental ray looks similar in terms of percentage.....
 
Very well! Case closed! (again) X2 wins in 99% of benchmarks, the 1% left, Intel is king. On to the next.

P.S.: The indsutrie's power, eh, Peter North? 😛

Uh... excuse me, I saw the X2 winning all of them....
 
NO the 1000 dollar chip did win the TMPGenc test Mark in this review....

The more I think about it, it may be right as HT has made a 20% difference in my testing and looking at the 840's the EE model is 20% faster then then 840 non EE model...It may very well be right.
 
OK...this is perplexing.....The ZDnet is usually quite good site and its others benches are correspoding to other reviews...They are using the same X2 test system as everyone else....and the P4 system seems in line with an i955 system and using 667 DDr2...Cant see timings but no way any timings will make that much of a difference on a P4 system....

Someone is fvcked up or a liar...Maybe some interesting tricks in TMPGenc 3 to disable certain other features or use certain settings to enhance one cpu over the other.....
 
Keep finding them....This is why I always say dont look at just one review...find truth in similarity in numbers.....duplications!!!

According to that link that may help to justify Behardwares claim....Notice how MPEG2 conversion experienced a more defined jump with HT on and may show that with that code it iis more multithreaded then the rest....The others showed little gain....

If you go back to my HT tetsing you will see that 20% was more of a high and did happen converting to MPeg2...Lesser gains were seen when you used CBR, different bitrates, effects, and ofcourse MPEG1 or VCD standards...

That is not true....main concept, Pinnacle, and canopus procoder test to MPeg2 have shwon not the same results....

This truly appears to be more isolated to the TMPGenc program so far...It may also be more isolated to version 3...I have a licensed version of 2.52 that I use so I wont likely be using 3.0 express myself....

Although you would do your damnest to try. 😀

Everyone knows by now to wait for Yonah. Except maybe this OP. 😉
