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 đ
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… LĂ€s 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.
Ă realmente incrĂvel 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?
