Windows Media Encoder 9
This custom test uses the standard Windows Media Encoder to convert a 720p HD video file to a 2Mb CBR DVD-quality video in two passes.
Windows Media Encoder 9 Take Two
This version of the test is part of the World Bench suite of tests and encodes a smaller video.
VideoWave Movie Creator 1.5
This World Bench test simulates creating a video from home movies.
Adobe Premiere 6.5
A more professional level benchmark, here World Bench is simulating more content creation in video and audio format.
Adobe Photoshop 7.0.1
This incredibly popular image editing software is used in World Bench to simulate common image manipulation techniques.
In both PC Perspective’s and WorldBench’s Windows Media Encoder 9 tests, the X2 has a slight performance advantage in overall encoding time. In our video editing tests, the T2600 is nearly able to catch the AMD processor but just can’t edge it out though performance is comparable on both VideoWave and Premiere. In the Photoshop test, the T2600 does outperform the X2 4800+ processor by 15 seconds.
