RE: [Updated!] EP Computer Benchmarking PowerBoard
Newer revisions of x264 are going to have speed improvements as well... how can wee compare benchmarks if wee use different build of x264...

Yes, quite a bit of difference.


With x264 r1442. (It says 1342, but that's because the number's built into the script and it doesn't actually check).

It seems only Joe88 is having problems with the Benchmarks version :/

That's only his laptop.  His normal computer works fine.

Or you could just choose a recent version (like 1471), if you really want.

That's pretty spoon of Futuremark O_o

anyway, lets give x264 Benchmark a shot, I've added relevent info and a board ready for first score. Work machine testing shall commence xD

Errrr.... actually, I had a look again.  He didn't specify which PCMark, and wee simply assumed it was the new one.  But infact, it's PCMark05.

So yeah, mystery solved.

ProperBritish Wrote:someone needs to add an x264 benchmark table to the OP

I'll do that now.

EDIT: Done...

Ok... Tabling Methodologies.
- Ranking is based on 2nd pass results (not that it matters at the moment, but it could in the future).  Because.
- Results are picked from the fastest of each of the set of 4 scores.  This makes it easier to update the tables (don't need to do any maths).  And it's a better measure than the average in a lot of cases anyway.

Actually, the Benchmark site says to turn it off.

As expected, the 6 core i7 Extreme 980X kicks donkey in this benchmark:

Just for anyone interested to see how they compare with the best.

Well, encoding is one of the most CPU dependent things out there, and scales almost directly with total CPU power.


That's about 3 times my performance (counting 2nd pass ofcourse).

But almost noone cares about their encoding speed (who encodes stuff a lot here?  Me and... me?), and almost everyone care about their gaming instead.  Too bad for gaming it'll be more like a 2% difference in FPS (which you can't even notice) than 200%.

That being said, if you're not an encoderfag like me, why even buy powerful CPUs?  Get yourself a core i5 or PII and be happy.  The GPU is a 10x better place to dump your extra funds if you want to play games better.
