Video Encoding and Photo Editing

DivX 6.1 with XMPEG 5.03

This test uses the latest DivX codec that supports multi-threaded encoding on the XMPEG application for easy encoding setup.  Here we had a 2 GB video that we asked XMPEG to convert the first 10,000 frames to DivX.

In all of our tests here the Conroe core comes out the winner, ranging from a small 4% advantage in our Adobe Premiere 6.5 test all the way up to 25% on our DivX encoding benchmark.  Obviously, Intel’s Core architecture has what it takes to survive media applications.
