Sony Vegas Pro 8: Blu-ray Disc Creation

Although technically a test simulating the creation of a Blu-ray disc, the majority of the time in our Sony Vegas Pro benchmark is spent encoding the 25Mbps MPEG-2 video stream and not actually creating the Blu-ray disc itself.

Making a Blu-ray disc is still mostly an encoding task, which once again falls right into the Phenom II's strengths. If you can't afford an i7 system, a Phenom II 955 or even a 940 will do quite well here.

Sorenson Squeeze: FLV Creation

Another video related benchmark, we're using Sorenson Squeeze to convert regular videos into Flash videos for use on websites.

We see more of the same here - the Phenom II X4 955 outperforms even the Q9650.

WinRAR - Archive Creation

Our WinRAR test simply takes 300MB of files and compresses them into a single RAR archive using the application's default settings. We're not doing anything exotic here, just looking at the impact of CPU performance on creating an archive:

    Many online reviews written by the computer hardware. Regard it as the person seeking advice testdrives Ferrari to life when you want to buy a car for your daily needs of commuting, and he might start telling you how bad the Toyota Prius, regardless of cost or requirement. In the world of processors, this is BMW's very good that you managed to buy a very cheap price.

    I'm guessing that he is showing the processor's actual speed during the test. The 2.8GHz speed likely is due to the i7's native ability to overclock itself via Turbo Mode (see page 4 of the article). Turbo mode tends to activate pretty much any time a load is on the CPU. But it's not really "unfair" as all i7 users get that benefit without doing anything extra, plus i7 chips still overclock far beyond that point. http://www.freeinstafollowers.info/

    AMD is really good and I really like how they run cooler than Intel. It's helped me to build my website http://getfreeinstagramfollowersteam.com so thanks AMD!
