Phenom II vs Core2Quad "Video encode etc" Performance?

niko084 · Mar 25, 2009

Anyone found or seen any benchmarks in video encoding etc type of work between the Q9k's and Phenom 2's?

I know the I7 will completely rip them both apart.

nah i havent seen anything however you could try gogling it no offense or anything, part from that you could just look at the Q 9*** benchmarks and compare to a seperate benchie of the new X4's

mlee49 · Mar 26, 2009

I think the Quad 9 series with the 12MB L2 cache would take a PII. I dont have any benchmarks to source though.

The Q9400 may drop out with half of the 9450's cache so the advantage should be PII.

Try tom's hardware they have charts on what you looking for. I don't know what studio 12 is but that's program they used to do video test with.

Sorry no Phenom II chips in that review

I gave the x264 HD benchmark a go, I have 720BE @ 3.8 on x4 cores, basically a
940@3.8.

But wait!! a ATI GPU will dominate them both to the point of being utter putrid waste. So it is a moot point.

Meh haps on the card if i can get it to work in Win7 X64.

1Kurgan1 · Mar 26, 2009

Try turning down the 720 to 3.4ghz and running that test, a 400mhz advantage skews the test

Blacksniper87 · Mar 26, 2009

yeah i recken your right clock them the same and run the benchmark again, i recken it will be pretty much neck and neck. And finally amd has a product of around the same performance of the intels core 2's damn it took them long enough. Now all they have to do is beat i7 LOL

Ketxxx · Mar 26, 2009

Yep clock the Phen 2 down or the Q up. I'd say with the Q clocked up it would edge out the Phen 2. Any C2D or Q gets huge improvements with a high FSB.

niko084 · Mar 26, 2009

Ya from the looks of that it would be a pretty close run..

As for the ATI card, good luck finding software worth anything that uses it...
PS- ATI video encoder is TRASH and doesn't even use my card.

lemonadesoda · Mar 26, 2009

How about we put together a thread on the ViMark benchmark? That will be a good indicator of CPU encode capability. We will then have our own database of results to compare...

The C2Q ram was running at 1066, and the PII at 800. Dont know if that makes a diff.
