Audio and Video Encoding

The situation is the same in all test applications we used to reveal the CPU performance during video and audio encoding. The youngest dual-core AMD processor, Athlon 64 X2 3800+, appears faster than the youngest Pentium D CPUs. Even overclocking doesn’t help Intel processors. Athlon 64 FX-60 working at 2.6GHz easily withstands the Pentium D Presler CPUs running at up to 4.0GHz speeds.
