Video transcoding: Handbrake and x264 Bench
| HandBrake | |
| Developer: | HandBrake community |
| Type of test: | Popular application with open source code to convert videos. |
| Comment: |
Puts load on the CPU and other components through conversion of video files to other formats. |
| The performance test: | iPhone 4 preset: 263 MB MP4-fil filmed with Galaxy S II in 17 Mb/s |
Handbrake isn’t the best optimized application when it comes to multiple threads, which allows Ivy Bridge with it’s architectural improvements to place itself above even the Core i7-980X.
| x264 Benchmark 4.0 | |
| Developer: | Tech ARP |
| Type of test: | Popular synthetic test suite |
| Comment: | Puts load on the CPU and other components through conversion of a video file to x264. |
| The performance test: | Built-in performance test |
In pass 1 of x264 we once again see a good ranking for the Core i7-3770K, which can almost touch the six core processors territory.
But Core i7-3770K drops significantly in the heavier pass 2 test and lets the old six-core warrior, the Core i7-980X, to run past itself. The result is still the best within the quad-core processor territory though.
Great review guys, i would really love to see you do much more of them =]
A really great review, good job. Waiting to get my hands on it… but don’t know when it will arrive in Brazil
Glad you liked it
We hope the new translators will have time for more of these.
You used DDR3-1333 for AMD APU when it’s known that those processors need faster RAM to reach top performance, unlike Intel’s which don’t scale up accordingly. As it is, this is a very Intel-biased review.

I can agree however if we’re talking GPU-performance, where may I add, even Ivy Bridge HD 4000 benefits from higher RAM-clocks as well so it’s pretty much apples-to-apples in that regard. We will be revising our testing methodology during the summer, so we’ll be taking all of these things into close consideration… Läs hela »
It seem Intel will beat AMD more with this line of new generation processor. It is faster and consume less power than sandy bridge and trinity. Core per core / clock per clock basis.
I really like to know though the performance and efficiency compare to AMD trinity.
É realmente incrível todo esse progresso/evolução da INTEL.

What happens if I put a 125w TDP CPU on a 95w motherboard? If I have a quad-core CPU and disable 2 cores will my CPU fit in the 95w TDP?
