    x264 HD Benchmark 3.15

    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 80 CPUs in this article, but we need MORE results! So please contribute your new benchmark results to this project! :beer:

    Check out the latest results!

    Hey Scrambler- what's your secret?
    You have a 955BE in post#47
    same AMD chipsets
    you have 20 fps faster than me in some parts of the bench
    going almost 500 mhz. slower than me on cpu
    your ram is slower and the timings are higher.
    your temps are almost 10 degrees hotter.
    inquiring minds would like to know ??:mrgreen:

    1st run was at stock core speed of 3200 MHz, Turboboost disabled, RAM running at 1800 something MHz; on the second run the Multiplicator was set to 24 (core speed at 3600 MHz), same RAM setting.

    Hi Bamboo, what's the difference between these results and the ones you posted earlier?

    Hi nkosi, can you retest the i7-960 at its stock speed? Thanks! :)

    Hmm.. It looks like it was set to 3.3 GHz, not 3.2 GHz. At least that's what CPU-Z detected.

    First post was under winxp_x32 and second results win7_x64

    Almost no difference :|
