DivX 5.1 Encoding

In looking at Gordian Knot's encoding speed with DivX 5.1, we see the trend continue: Celeron D is a strong performer in the budget segment. This is one of the stronger showings for the Northwood based Celerons, and the 2.53GHz Celeron D still comes in at over 8% faster than the 2.6GHz Celeron.

It looks like FSB increases bring in the most benefit here, as the 20x100 Celeron D is only 3% faster than the 2.0GHz Northwood Celeron. Not that it is anything to worry about.

It's probable that if we retested with DivX 5.1.1, the Prescott based Celerons would perform even better in comparison to everything else due to the added SSE3 support.

    I'd be very interested to see overclocked performance between the 335 and Mobile 2600+

    FYI: Later pages don't load.


    I wonder what the price of these Celerons will be. I have a feeling AMD will still corner the budget market, even without the Sempron's anyway.

    Intel hired marketing firm Lexicon Branding, which had originally come up with the name Pentium, to devise a name for the new product as well. The San Jose Mercury News described Lexicon's reasoning behind the name they chose: Celer is Latin for swift. As in accelerate. And on. As in turned on. Celeron is seven letters and three syllables, like Pentium. The Cel of Celeron rhymes with tel of Intel.
