Some more results stolen from a benchmarking thread on my friend's forums... Since "1. You are only allowed to post URLs, images, email once you have at least 5 posts." (hurr)... I'll just copy-paste them here... However, as they are not my results, I can not and will not guarantee their accuracy nor authenticity. Netbooks are awesome for encoding, amirite?
Thanks, Assassinator-! Appreciate you sending in third-party results too. Do send more if you can. PS. Sorry about the minimum post limit but that's to reduce the number of spammers.
can anyone tell me why the last 4 results are much slower than the first 4 results?

Thanks for the results! It's in the guide actually. The benchmark runs two-pass compression on the HD video clip, so there are two results - Pass 1, and Pass 2. Pass 2 is naturally much slower since the x264 compression is being applied to the results of Pass 1, which is already compressed once by x264.

x264 HD Benchmark 3.18 The new x264 HD Benchmark 3.0 is here! This is the improved version of the x264 HD Benchmark 2.0 benchmark which has become a standard CPU benchmark for Tech ARP as well as many other hardware enthusiasts. The new x264 HD Benchmark 3.0 ups the ante by using the latest r1342 x264 encoder as well as other changes under the hood. This makes the x264 HD Benchmark 3.0 the new best tool for testing the full capabilities of modern multi-core processors. Do note that due to the changes, the results from x264 HD Benchmark 3.0 are NOT comparable with results from older versions of the benchmark. In addition to the release of the benchmark, we will be compiling benchmark results for this new version. There are now 100 CPUs in this article, but we need MORE results! So please contribute your new benchmark results to this project! Link : x264 HD Benchmark 3.18
