x264 HD Benchmark

[Dashken]

We have just updated the benchmark with more CPUs.

The x264 HD Benchmark is the “High Definition version” of the x264 Benchmark which has become a standard CPU benchmark for Tech ARP as well as many other hardware enthusiasts.

The new x264 HD Benchmark ups the ante by using a new 720p24 high-definition video clip. Therefore, it will be a great test of the processor’s ability to encode HD quality video streams. Give it a try and let us know how your processor fares!

Here's a quote from the article :-

"Simply put, it is a reproducible measure of fast your machine can encode a short, HD-quality video clip into a high quality x264 video file. It's nice because everyone running it will use the same video clip and software. The video encoder (x264.exe) reports a fairly accurate internal benchmark (in frames per second) for each pass of the video encode and it also uses multi-core processors very efficiently."

will be taking another bencmark when i get my phenom 9850 to morrow or thursday

btw it does make more sense for a 1080p HD Benchmark
like say a MPEG2 1920x1080i to 1920x1080p x264
but its nice there is some x264 benchmark tools for review sites

Looking good

[graysky]

Thanks for the data, all. I'll update the tables in a few hours.

@wiak - Be sure to post your overclock results on that 9850!

To answer your questions, I did 720p since most if not all broadcast HD is 720p. 1080p is out there on discs and some broadcasts, but it's not the norm. I didn't wanna do a 1080i --> 1080p conversion either since I wanted it to be as much x264.exe as it could be without extra avisynth plugins running to deinterlace/IVTC, etc.

Thanks for the news of this benchmark. Didn't know about it b4.Will give this a try & will update my post if it runs well in my PC.
